New tool?
 

Very interesting tool for scratch builders.

Looks interesting,

Looks very interesting indeed, but if you scroll down it says that the recommended price is going to be $390. I'd sure like to have one, but at that price I would have to classify it as a luxury item.

Pretty nice if you scratch build all the time.

Nice one Rex. I have trouble just holding a saw or knife - arthritis - so this looks to be ideal. Somewhat like a multi tool but less cumbersome.
I'll keep an eye on it.

Mal --- I could also trim my toe nails more safely with this than using my Dremel tool with a drum sander attachment.

Hi Rex
Very true, but they suggest you should wear gloves when you use the tool, finding foot shaped gloves could be a good trick?

Pretty cool for sure, though alot have the prototype.

Hmm, never thought of that but would definitely suggest googles to keep that red stuff out of your eyes!

Doesn't look to be a company per se for this tool. Here's the basic link. Seems that if there's a problem with the tool you be out of luck, in my opinion.

Bob, those links aren't working for me.

Odd. I just tried both and they work. Try a search of 'kickstart' from your server.

The link took me somewhere, but it was something about edible straws, not the new tool. I guess I'll have to search around the straw site.

The photo wouldn't post, I'll try again.

Still couldn't post the photo, but I found that you can do a kind of pre order as low as $250 (I think). It also says not recommended for plastic over 3mm thick, but I don't see a problem with that for what we do. The more I look, the more I like. Hope it makes it.

Try the second link and scroll down. It shows you who and what they are and also says it's a group of them working 'out of an old pencil factory in NYC'. Bottom line, no info about the tool as to where made, infrastructure of the company that will supply it, etc etc.

If you scroll way down on the link Rex posted there's a lot of info, and that's where it looks like you can pre-order. I don't have the extra money right now anyway, but I'll be watching this one. That thing would make scratchin' an ambulance onto a HL truck a whole lot easier. ;)
