Once you see this tool you will appreciate the quality. The price is definately worth it and it uses Iron worker quality dies, so its gonna last a while. I helped in the development of the tool and the pricing point was definately a concern. We knew we had to get a quality tool but it couldnt be too expensive at the same time. Thats tough to do, but I think this hits all the right marks. If you were to get one I know you wouldnt be dissapointed.

while its true I helped in the development, I have nothing to do with the sale or production of the tool. It was my idea to develop something like this because it was something I wanted to buy but no one made it. The guys at tubeshark created it and I helped with the r&d. I dont get any thing for it other than they gave me a tool. I'm pretty excited that someone at least makes something like this and I guess it may be viewed as a plug for the product, but there is absolutely no profit to be made on my part. Am I excited about it? of course. Its pretty cool to see an idea turn into reality.
I'm just trying to help them out with getting it on the market.
