This shop has done various parts for me reliably, an actual business with employees and several geniuses on staff.
One crank tool to rule them all!

I'm way down south between Cincinnati and Dayton.
No worries Brad, thanks.
DD ... PM me info on the shop, I have more than a few guys that have now offered. I'm going to see what i can come up with locally... then work from there I think.

excellent work mattyo. how much do they cost ?So as an update, the entire first run of tools is spoken for. I used one of the 20 initial sleeves to prototype the 2nd run. ...so I have 19 initial tool sets that were available and now are spoken for.
I already have 3 people in for the 2nd run, which will include a sleeve with a couple adapters so as to do all of the major stihl and husqvarna saws. The stihl saws ..in particular the 044 ...have VERY tiny seal pockets...19mm. so I have to have an adapter machined to that spec. I already have the prototype and will be testing it asap. I don't know if the next set will hit the same price point.... I'm having the threaded rods machined on long island and I'm being given a nice guy rate for the first few.
If anyone wants in on the 2nd run let me know and I'll put them on the list. For those that are on the initial list I'll keep you updated here. I'll hopefully have more of an idea of true ETA at the CT gtg... May 6th....when hopefully I get delivered some of the threaded rods
Pm sent!
Picked up a set of these quite some time ago. Decided a quality tool set like this, needed a decent container.
Started out as a pile
Purchased this hoping it was big enough
Picked a scrap of insulation up from work
Layer 1
Lower layer 2, with room for expansion

Better question, is how much to make & send me one of ‘em cases
i would love to had blow molded cases made for these things, but I can't imagine how much $$ it would cost in the small quantities that I deal with. harbor freight has blow molded cases, but they are likely super cheap because they sell millions of kits of whatever tools. would be nice to find a cost effective solution.
TOOLS BACK IN STOCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! FINALLY!!!!!!!!!!
I have main kits back in stock after a 5 month dry spell!
most evenings I'm doing livestreams on youtube if anyone wants to come on and ask questions!

and just like that, tools back out of stock
sorta
only ended up with a half batch of m14 rods due to a tap breaking. i've tried to get replacement taps, they keep sending right handy taps .... ugh. hopefully 2 arriving tomorrow which I will promptly send to the machinist, then when he gets the remaining rods done i'll have good stock of the main kit for a while.
I shipped 22 packages yesterday including 4 international.... I think I have 8 more on the bench packed up.
anyone that is interested can send me a PM ...
