I have one at home (different brand, 25 years old)....doesn't everyone?
We use almost the exact same one. It works, but there is no easy way to make sure the broach is completely centered.

Also, it takes like 10,000 cycles of the hand lever to broach one thing. It gets very annoying, and takes us way too long. Does anyone else have experience with this, and do you have a good technique?
