The Guide Buddy is a very versatile tool that allows you to:
- Thread your Guide post (remember to use a little oil).
- Face the bottom of your guide flag to keep it flat
- Face the top of the guide flag around the post
- Face the top of your Guide tongue
- Flatten your braid on the guide flag

Flattened braid
- Thread your Guide post (remember to use a little oil).
- Face the bottom of your guide flag to keep it flat
- Face the top of the guide flag around the post
- Face the top of your Guide tongue
- Flatten your braid on the guide flag
This is a very good tool. It cuts the threads very well and does not get bound up, the shavings clear from the cutter so no broken guides while cutting. The ability to make sure that everything is flat is an added bonus! Might want to put some directions in the package based on the above. Well done Geary!
