Q: What features did you like?

A: It has fast speed, a portable size, and is loaded with functionality. 

Q: On a scale of 1 to 10, how would you rate this tool overall? Why?

A: Nine, because it's well-priced, portable, fast, and loaded with bi-directional capability. The only thing is that it is a wired setup. A wireless dongle would be a nice inclusion, but that would change the pricing.
