I picked this up because someone I know that had one said to me "You should get one of these, you're creative!" So here I am.I'll admit to being 100% green on this subject, and am approaching this review from that perspective.The things that really stood out to me about this is one, the quality of the gun itself, I was surprised about how well it's made, it seems like a pretty robust tool; two, how powerful it seems to be (it has a 120 watt power supply, so it's pretty stout); and three, the fantastic accessories included with it (all vacuum packed). It has a really nice trimmer that comes along with it, as well as a rainbow assortment of yarn, some base material (I still haven't learned all the lingo, lol), some scissors, and a bunch of other little odds and ends such as tools and parts. I have to say, for a "starter kit", I really can't imagine there are many things left out of this kit. It seems pretty complete, with everything I need to jump head-first into the "tufting world".I haven't produced any master works with this yet, I'm still in the stage of watching YouTube videos and gawking at how good some people are at using these and how far away I'm sure I am from that level. But, a few more hours of YouTube videos, and maybe I'll be selling my hand-made rugs here on Amazon.Lol, we'll see anyway.As a beginner in this hobby, I have to say I'm impressed with this starter kit. I'm confident I have everything I need to get started, but I'm sure seeking out new colors of yarn is close by in my future. It's obviously more expensive than some more basic tufting guns here, but this includes so much more over the basic gun that it seems worth the asking price to me. 5 stars, and I'm on my way to creativity.
