The rating scale
Five points. No half marks. No “it depends.”
- 5Buy it. Blame me. I'd spend my own money on it, and I'd tell a friend to.
- 4Worth it, with notes. Good gear with a catch or two you should know about first.
- 3Fine. Just fine. Does the job. I wouldn't talk you out of it, and I wouldn't talk you into it.
- 2Hard to recommend. Something better exists at the price, and I'll tell you what it is.
- 1Don't. Not for metal, not for the money, or not at all.
