    Checking interest: SWB Spark Plug Wrench (potential run)

    Having learned very quick that this tool is the "holly grail" of SWB 911 tools, I very quickly after getting my hands on one decided, "this can't be that difficult to make the Germans made them in the mid 60's and we have technology now." Well, that is all true, but try to get a someone these days to tool up for a project like this is a different story. Anyway, long story short after many (MANY) failed attempts I found a local machinist (young & talented that is what his mother told me) in the desert who ran me through the wringers on what it will take him to fabricate it. Yesterday, I dropped off the cad drawings and today the tool. Last question was, "are you sure you can make it? Yes, I just have to sit down and see how that will be done."

    So, if this works out the tool will be USA made of high quality material, heat treated and finished as close as possible to look like the original. Plus will actually be functional. No idea price, but probably not cheap, since each one will be hand made. I'm thinking of a run between 50-100.

    Do I have any interest? Before I get myself to deep into this.
