Generation 2 Mini Gasbaby
This is my favorite Prybaby so far. I scaled down the full sized Gasbaby just a hair and then removed the large acetylene tank wrench opening. The G2 treatment really makes these pop I think. :) I'll be finishing a small batch of them soon.
sign me up. the prybaby family is growning! My crawdaddy is lonley. with these 2 together i could have 14+ tools just imagine..... wrenching,screwing,welding and bottle opening. thoes are the days. thanks for making the amreican dream come true. with just 2 tools. lol. ps. how soon?
Peter, I think Franz might really be onto something. It not what I would normally consider your style, but a skull in one of the tools, as a limited edition, would be a hot item. Next Ebay item? -Mat
i guess the arcbaby would only last a bead or two. i should have put cutting a car in half by way of gasbaby via the oxy acetylene torch .i just was too excited when i saw the new tool.
logan, sorry to say, but they're already gone. Somehow I managed to check when they were available, got a couple (for gifts), and they were gone 30 seconds later.
There was one small wave already but I have another one on the way in a day or so. I also will have a bunch of plain G2s when I get around to grinding and getting them through heat treat.
I'll be cutting and starting a big batch of G2 Gasbabies during the Christmas week. Also more Bike Tools.
i look forward to these awsome goodies. it says something about your tools and designs when people get upset about not getting one. you have created more than just a line of tools, its a following. thanks to all that share my obsession, makes me feel a little less strange. happy holidays.
jut got mine! now my crawdaddy has a friend. gasbaby, ghostbaby or skullbaby? either way it has its own style and im sure my friends are going to be jealous.
Small, tough and light. Awesome. BTW...I left home this morning, just came back and saw that the homepage has changed. Did I miss anything today?
ReplyDeleteThanks. :)
ReplyDeleteI had some Termites on this morning but they sold out. More will come eventually, maybe a two bit version in a month or so.
