    That Speed Groover was actually invented by Pat who used to take the safety vinyl courses at Altro. (Boring fact of the day)

    At people who have them, how are the blue handled ones any different from the traditional 'p' groover? I've read on here that they are faster but they both seem to be essentially the same product. I'm going to assume that you still have to use a straight-edge with them to groove out, surely whatever product you use in conjunction with a straight-edge its going to take the same amount of time

    I need answers dammit!!

    The blue handled speed grover has a wing nut you can quickly loosen to change the blade in stead of a stupid little fiddley screw
