bad head

Posted by no1toolmkr Aug 22, 2008


If you have and use the DA-200 collet system from any manufacture your heads probably get all chewed up from slipped wrenches, then the channel locks and then finally, it takes the vise grip to get that head off. It seems to be the nature of the beast. small tools taking the beating of everyday use. You just need access to service for your tooling. You need to be able to pick up the phone or drop an e-mail and have ya a new one. So next time you get bad head. You know what to do. Get a new head from Eric's Tool Room, Inc.

Open sourcing to be the new rage? maybe. If your like me you've got 10's or even 100's of thousands of dollars all around you in tooling, and its not all that special either. Go ahead look I dare you. You've got this tool and that tool Oh and that one over there you paid extra for it just to have it fast because you needed it yesterday. Uh huh. I've got an idea for you. pick one of then up that you use alot. It don't matter just pick one up. See how its made. Golly I bet you could make one of those couldn't you... I bet its an old design on a new tool tool too so theres no patent infringement either. not that their would be if you made one for yourself. I'm trying a new idea here. I love the DA-200 collet holders. and their counterpart tapping head that uses DA-200 collets as well. I think they are just super at the small stuff. you know little hole big part. I'm manufacturing a bunch of them just because, and I'll sell you the extras cheaper than you can buy them and I'll have an inventory of them just waiting on your call because I'm tired of paying $100.00 plus shipping for the darn things. I'm selling the collet holders at $58.00 ea. they are very professionally made with a black oxided finnish. THATS 58% of retail MAN.....

Tell you what. you go pick up one of those tools you hate to buy make some and maybe I'll need one someday and I'll be on the phone with you wanting one yesterday. meanwhile if you need a DA-200 collet holder call me.. or just go make one gees..
