Look forward to getting one as well in the following days. I never thought I would find a suitable replacment for my Starrett pocket rule, thanks man. Anyone notice how many of Peter's tools show up in the "The Penguins of Madadgascar"? I agree that these came out real nice. Any chance we might see some patterned or stamped rulers? Peter, For the bigshots that are coming via general release soon can you give us an update on other drinking tools in the works so we can make a decision to purchase or not?
What I mean is that I want to purchase more drinking tools. If there is only going to be the ones as previously released than I will purchase some that are soon to be released. If there are also going to be be some of a different knurling pattern unless those are only going to be by lottery I might hold out or if you are going to move forward with the "tallshot" a name I have been calling the previously mentioned possibility or a smaller diameter but as tall or taller drinking tool I might save some of my pennies for those.
I realize these other variations might be further in the future but I only have 2 hands to drink with anyway. So what do you think, Peter. Will you be anodizing the remaing Ti Rulers this week or is plain the flavor for the remaining pieces.. Just curious! The rest will be bead blasted only, no anodizing. Will post them tonight after supper, probably around or 7 PM. Yup, this is typical. Anytime I ever say I'll have a sale at such and such a time something comes up.
Tonight is no exception. Tons of things came up all day long and I never got the blasted rulers done today. So it will be tomorrow Question from ignorance--what is the difference in finishes between stonewash and bead blast?
Questions from giddiness--does the delay in rulers mean a delay in the big shot general sale? I would love to see that! Joined: Oct 29, Messages: Likes Received: 0. Does Peter have copy rights on his tools? Virgo Empty Pockets.
Joined: Jul 29, Messages: Likes Received: Wow, that IS an exact copy Strange how he does credit Peter with the design, though I wonder if he got Peter's permission I would be surprised if he did? I'll wait to see what Peter says before getting too worked up, but I'm guessing he won't be thrilled What gets me is the fact the guy claims it's entirely handmade.
Handmade as in, "I filed all those hexholes and captive bit carriers"; handmade as in, "I used my fingers to program the waterjet"; or handmade as in, "I used my finger to dial the phone to outsource the project"? I think that the copyright that Peter has on his creative projects should be more than enough to stop this guy.
Then again, it could get very expensive to take legal action against such a copier, compared to the amount of units the copier produces of his cheap crap. I mean: No Atwood lover in his mind would ever buy a piece of this crap I hope. BTW: It is indeed weird that he give Peter a lot of credit and then sells this brutal copy :shrug:.

At least he credits the design. I hope he is not infringing on a copyright, that he has permission, etc. I am sorry, but this is just a brutal copy right infringement. All the rest supply and demand and whatever comes in is not important. The copyright lies with Peter Atwood. DB Kilted Moderator. It would be a pain to have special bits made though. As a bicycle commuter I must say I love the looks of this tool. Like others before me, I believe an allen wrench bit would be more useful.
If not a metric allen, then I would recommend a philips head. Tire levers are used for removing the tire from the metal hub. They are useful for flats. I wouldn't recommend using a screwdriver to do so as it could damage your tire, with that said, I've done it once or twice. Nice looking tool! I used a Keychain XL Prybaby among other tools last weekend to remove a motorbike tire. For this to work well as a bike tire lever, you don't need the XL bend as much as a small curve on the tip about mm bent at an angle of degrees , so it can grab the lip of the tire and pull it over the rim of the wheel.
Standard tire levers for bikes usually come in pairs, and have a hook on the non-curved end, so you can start prying with one and then hook it to a spoke of the wheel, leaving your hands free to pry around it with the other. I'll take it! Please put me on the list : Kidding Definitely try to get a bottle opener on there for the after ride brews. Great work, keep it up. Peter, this is great! I find myself using a 4mm Allen most often- Seat post bolts, faceplate bolts, stem bolts etc.
I think a derailleur adjustment screw would probably be a 1 or 0 Phillips. I guess I don't feel too bad for missing it now considering that it was an extremely small time frame that it was even available. Though I was checking in every thirty minutes or so. Maybe next time Too bad I missed them too : Well, there are some other old Atwood items on sale on eBay Silly me, I was only checking every 2 hours.
I'dve had a better chance with a lottery. I guess this means the market value is way higher than the list price I knew I should have limited these to one per person but by the time I thought of it I already was busy with orders.
I know it's completely Peter's decision, but if it were me, I would not allow that assbag to ever buy another one of these tools through this website. Doing what he's doing directly goes against what Peter has said he's trying to do. What an asshole. I hope you will bring back this tool as I have only recently stumbled upon this site and take my bike up into the remote corners of Sonoma County.
Short of pumping air in the tires, it looks like it could cover any issue up in the mountains. I have made an offer for what I believe was the price, inclusive of shipping, that these were offered at on this site.
