I've looked at other Needle Scalers available and there are a lot of online comments about quality issues. The Facom unit is now a consideration. This unit has been around for years (as a V.352) and now refreshed with 2 available needle diameters. Rebuild parts are now available through Ultimate Garage to keep this tool in service for years to come.
