I feel it takes about the same amount of time for me since Peter's and Andys both still needed the hole reamed to size to accept necklaces. I did primarily pendants.
I will say, however, that the JAWS tool looks pretty nice and sturdy.
Thanks Rckt, this is really exactly what I have ended up doing over the last week or two. I think this might be a better solution than paying another $100 for a tool when I can just improve on using this method!
