I have the genuine article, a Noga. Actually I have two of them, don't recall how that happened but I've had them over 20 years. I've added a couple different tips for different materials, they're "quick change." I may add the sheet metal edging tip if I remember next time I'm ordering from MSC/Enco or other dealer.
That said, I don't use it for everything. The well-worn "burr knife" (a.k.a. bearing scraper) gets a LOT of use because of it's finer control. When my hands give out or start shaking uncontrollably from the heavy drinking or Parkinsons I always have the Noga. ;)
(Just kidding about the shakes, I really don't drink and no family history of the disease.)
