Pretty good
One of the few very hard-to-find side-cutters who's cutting edge is not bevelled on both sides; you can actually see precisely where you are cutting which was important to me.

Fine.
On the expensive side, but that’s what we expect for Merc accessories. Worked straight off with my iPod in the 2014 E class estate.

Good starting guide, some experience needed, already out of date but usable
This could well be the book that people like me, coming to Cocoa programming from other platforms and other languages need to get going. (For me 25 years with Turbo Pascal/Delphi.) You need to have a prior understanding of C and Apple's Objective-C, which I got from the Apress book 'Learn Objective-C on the Mac'. Cocoa is a very powerful platform, with a huge number of by-ways. I worked through all the examples, taking usually one or two evenings on each chapter. Most topics are well explained, and having worked through the examples you are often left thinking 'now wasn't that cunning?'
Unfortunately, although published in 2010, this book is already out of date by two versions of OS X. It was written for users of Leopard and Xcode 3. Snow Leopard came then was supplanted by Lion, and the latest Xcode is version 4 and very different from 3, with many options and switches in completely different places. (That is Apple's fault, hardly the book's.) Without the help of the forum on the publishers' web site many users will be stumped, or at least need a lot of dedication to get the examples working, but the extra effort is likely to increase your understanding, especially if you trouble to update the few bits of deprecated code in the examples. At a pinch you can download the completed examples and compare them with your own efforts. The book already needs a new edition, and/or at least a comprehensive downloadable addendum.
I don't know of a comparable book and think I got good value for money, so *****.
