Their new version clearly looks better. It is better suited to a single
spokes size (unlike the first version that tried to handle two different
spokes sizes), and the whole thing is beefier. The posts for holding the
barrel cutters are fatter/stronger, so they are less likely to spread
apart when pressing threads into the spokes.

I need the thing. They say "use cutting fluid", but what about the
rollers? Don't the rollers need some heavy duty grease? Or will
frequent application of cutting fluid (maybe once per spoke) keep
the rollers from wearing on the pins/shafts?

Seems I messed up the cutting heads that came with the original
Hozan Spoke Threader. That head was made for 14 and 15gauge
spokes. The replacement head is made for only 14gauge spokes. I
suppose precision is important, so they aren't making it for two
different size spokes anymore.

Must be difficult to make those cutting heads, since it's over
$100 and there is no Chinese knockoff of that Japanese product.
