I like the feel and weight to this applicator. I definitely prefer it to the thinner, lighter ones that are included in the sets. Of the tips that it came with, some click in place nicely and easily and some do not. You will notice in this picture how the single placer on the left would not sit fully flush the way the 3-gem placer does (on the right). Because of this, I'm hesitant to remove the single placer for fear it might break (it's jammed in tight as it is). But as it turns out, I really only want to use the single and 3-gem placers on these pieces since they're relatively small, so I'm satisfied overall. But that was a little frustrating and seems to be a design flaw since some others have commented something similar.
