Summary: Do I have to give this 1 star?
Review: This little instrument of torture will only cost you a few dollars to buy but could cost you hundreds of dollars in CDs, DVDs, and Video Games!

This thing is the equivalent of an Iron Maiden for CDs. It leaves circular grooves all along the bottom of any media that you try to "repair" with it and makes it completely unusable.

And don't bother attempting to modify the inadequate directions in an attempt to find a way to actually make it work. I tried that on some old CDs I was throwing out anyway and found that it is an equal opportunity destroyer. It doesn't matter in the slightest how much of the so called repair solution you use or for what amount of time you turn the grinder wheel you will not make it work properly.

However, if you are a politician or an executive looking to permanently destroy some data CDs to cover up something...

Summary: Destroyed my CD
Review: This put in many more scratches than it took out. Since this data CD has very valuable data on it, I'll try a different brand completely. While I had only a couple of data blocks that were unreadable before, now there is data missing everywhere. Terrible product.
