A quick question.
Has anyone bought this?
Does it allow you to gather mats even for gathering proffessions you have not trained?
Is it only for visual fluff?

I see.
Bit of a shame,it would be really useful if it let you gather all nodes,even if it was with reduced
effectiveness for untrained gathering skills.

This is why I went double-gatherer.  It lets me conveniently gather without having to use yet another addon to switch things up (and saving a valuable inventory slot in the process).
I had a macro but after a while I just wanted to gather without the hassle of switching.
 
I'm lazy and I paid (OmniBits) for convenience.  System is working as intended.  No regrets :)

			It's also now the only way to upgrade your gathering tool if you have two gathering professions. -_-; Because charging players crafting vouchers when they have no way to get them with two gathering professions totally makes sense.

			It costs 4k crafting vouchers to buy the top harvesting tool of each type. They are bound to character and not account.

So what do these harvesting tools do? Let you harvest higher-quality items or a better drop chance or something?  Or does the cash shop item do that too?

It does more damage, which lets you kill the nodes faster/before they run away.
----
			I'm sure it does.

I have the cash shop one it does seem a bit faster to harvest each node(anecdotal). I can run some napkin math parses tonight and confirm.
You cannot harvest beyond your current tier of gathering or gather anything you haven't trained in. 
Just like Fantastic I am lazy to a fault and figured it was worth the $1.80 to never have to swap or even press a macro key again.
 
Yep I am that lazy believe it or ....sorry too much work to finish my thought

			Harvest tools have always been kind of a murky endeavor, because the difference wasn't explained for a long time, and even once we knew it, the 'feel' of improvement was often minimal.
