I tried to get one. Even followed the protocol of contacting the guy who had them made but nothing happened. Another case of vapor-ware methinks. Would be nice though.

They come and they go. One of the priviledges of hanging around here for years is that eventually you will be awarded one of Glenn's tools for a very modest price. When that day comes is very unpridictable.

One of the best tools n my tool box, that's for sure. BTW, I waited 2 years. Be patient, Grasshopper.

I don't think you are allowed to buy one until you have gone past the black belt level and attained the rare camouflage belt level....

Milt, Randy, . .yeah, it's all about timing. . . . and camouflage belt levels.

Getting these made and out to people has been a hobbie thing for me, rather than a profitable thing. That said; I suppose that the timing might be good again around March.

Gary, geeze . .. you had a box of 50 of them once for distribution. (kinda figured you would have kept one)
. ..or were ya after the latest version? . .. I thought you said you would come down to the last Round-up drive meet, to pick up one. (?)

I've been standing in line for almost 3 years to buy one of these. Maybe you didn't see me because of what I was wearing!

This is a "must have tool" for the 911 DIY'er. Glens design is far superior to the original P213 tool. Be patient but persistant. Timg is everything and sending $$ helps too.

I politely request to be placed in line,(if and when there is a next batch) since my first valve adjust was OK , but I would like the next experience to be "dead nuts on" AND enjoyable.
Thanks

Add me to the list! I don't want my first attempt at this to be a disaster.

Island911 - Well, I know it is just a myth, but put me on the list too.
