speerchucker30x378I don't know that I have ever seen one for sale. It's a $2 thing that everyone makes themselves.

When I was a kid. I had the stick. I had the rock. And I had the mud puddle. I am as adept with them today, as I was back then. Lets see today's kids say that about their IPods, IPads and XBoxes in 45 years!

dpcdI should make them and sell them but the demand level seems to be less than the production and inventory cost.

I think it was Timney that used to make one, and that's why they quit!

I saw yours on U tube before I posted. thought maybe they were for sale someplace. looked on Brownells and Midway and some other places, but didn't find any.
Looks like one hell of a handy tool.
I will try to make one by cutting a large washer in half at the hole, but I would have bought one for $10.00!

dpcdSure; I will put you down for the minimum wholesale quantity of 50, at a price of $8 each. Now, I won't take that money with the Queen on it either. They should sell like frozen yogurt in Antarctica.

Don't be looking at me smart-ass. I still got the one I made 25 years ago! I'll will that fawker to you when I die and you can frame it with a little plaque that reads: "This is how I lost my first million!" LOL

Na ha
This is the same CEO who has an office in your kitchen, hides your corn squeezins and constantly reminds you of the last 20 hare-brained, get-rich-quick-schemes that you lost the rent money on?

Well, even a train wreak is funny, if you happen to be sitting in the pub, across the street watching it happen!
Not so funny I suppose if you happen to be the conductor in the caboose whose sober as a judge and watching the pileup that he's soon to be in get closer and closer and closer.
But yeah, pretty funny! LOL

It's an analogy. Like: "throwing the baby out with the bathwater." I'm not promoting causing the derailment of trains or throwing out babies.
If memory serves (wreck) is past tense of (wreak).

So there was a wreck and you did laugh?

I could say that it's just a matter of semantics, but it's not. Because there was no train wreak or trainwreck. It's simply a matter of perspective and I as I am neither the conductor, nor the person in the pub, I wasn't actually there so neither applies to me. I was only the one using the analogy and I didn't make up the analogy. So without a common frame of reference I can't honestly say if it was funny or terrifying from either perspective.
I have also never thrown out a baby with the bath water. I do however use the analogy quite regularly and typically it suggests a bad thing. But, I can't say if it really is a bad thing, or actually a good thing. While I'm not planning on it, if I ever accidentally toss one out, I'll be sure to let you know.
I could actually suggest asking schrodinger's cat about it. But Erwin Schrödinger never actually did conduct the experiment. The fool probably never even had a cat which probably tosses the whole theory of quantum mechanics out the window. So, take note that no babies or cats were killed and no trains were destroyed in any of these posts!
