Monster is Sighted for Second Time this Week!

Witnesses report the Monster has reappeared this afternoon! :)

The first tool of the Creature Series, The Lock Nut Monster tool features offset multi-wrench jaws with six SAE wrench sizes, 1/4-9/16, my captive bit system with #1 phillips bit, bottle opener, screwdriver/prytip and lanyard hole which doubles as an oxygen wrench. The gnarly and slightly oxidized raw bar finish is the appropriate hide for a creature from the murky depths. ;)

These are $70 plus shipping.

Yo, International Customers: This is a somewhat hefty tool and so I am nervous about shipping via Priority International mail. If you order, you are ordering at your own risk as I cannot be responsible and will not replace tools that disappear in transit. If you order two or more tools then I will automatically go to the more secure Express Mail shipping which offers real tracking and insurance but of course is twice as expensive.

Sold out, thank you!

Lock Nut Monsters!

Howdy Folks! Welcome to the weekend. :)

The first tool of the Creature Series, The Lock Nut Monster tool features offset multi-wrench jaws with six SAE wrench sizes, 1/4-9/16, my captive bit system with #1 phillips bit, bottle opener, screwdriver/prytip and lanyard hole which doubles as an oxygen wrench. The gnarly slightly oxidized raw bar finish is appropriate for a creature from the murky depths. ;)

These are $70 plus shipping. I have a first wave for tonight then I'll have a second wave in a day or two when I get them together. It takes a while to put the O-rings on, tie the lanyards and prepare the packaging. ;)

Yo, International Customers: This is a fairly hefty tool and so I am nervous about shipping via Priority International mail. If you order, you are ordering at your own risk as I will not replace tools that disappear in transit. If you order two or more tools then I will automatically go to Express Mail shipping which at least offers real tracking and insurance but of course is twice as expensive.

First wave is gone but more are coming. Thank you! :)

Plain Titanium Ghosts

Good Morning!

Things are settling down around here after a tough couple of weeks and I'm getting back on track. This morning I have some plain unanodized Titanium Ghosts ready. These have a stonewashed finish. I will be doing more colored ones in the next day or so but these are just plain vanilla flavored. As always, thank you for stopping by and for your patience. ;)

Sold Out, thank you!

Shipping

I wanted to add a note about shipping...

I only use the US Post Office for shipping. I use Priority Mail so that people will get their packages fast and also because the boxes and envelopes are free and convenient.

After your purchase I create a shipping label and Paypal automatically sends an email confirming that the package is on its way. And the email provides the delivery confirmation number. Once in a while paypal has a glitch and doesn't send an email right away but usually it does.

Generally the post office provides very good service and delivers in a speedy fashion. I lose very few packages per year and considering how many I ship I am very pleased with them. There is no real tracking for Priority Mail however...the delivery confirmation number SOMETIMES shows progress but often only shows a change AFTER the package is delivered. Don't ask me why, it's a mystery but that's how it works.

International Sales:

Where it gets trickier is for international orders. The only way to get tracking and to insure the contents of the package is with Express Mail. But Express Mail costs between $25 and $35. Since very few people wish to pay that much to send a $50 tool I usually just make it Priority Mail for $13 which is still expensive but that's what it costs.

Since International orders leave the US postal system I have no control once they leave the country and Priority Mail International packages cannot be tracked. Luckily very few get lost but I have a slightly higher rate of loss than domestic orders. Unfortunately I cannot be responsible for lost orders overseas, therefore foreign buyers are taking a risk on delivery I'm afraid.

One other thing, please do not ask me to lie on the value of the contents. It is illegal to misrepresent the value of the items being sent and I will not do it.

Attention Newbies! :)

Hi Folks,

Every week I get at least one or more emails asking me if I can sign someone up for my sales. Old timers know what is going on but new people who stumble upon my site are often slower to understand my sales model.

Here is how my sales work:

1. If the batch is large I post a link from Planet Pocket Tool to a sale page on atwoodknives.com. The page is invisible to casual visitors to the website and can only be accessed through the blog posting. When the sale is over I remove the link.

2. If the sale is for One of a Kind or limited edition type items where there are only a few available (such as knives) I post a Sign Up Sale on the blog. When the Sign Up Sale is over I remove the sign up link and pick the Sign Up Sale winners.

3. I sell items directly to customers via email now and again. If I have something in stock I'm happy to sell it to you anytime, just email me.

Blue Titanium Ghosts

Howdy all,

It's been a tough couple of weeks and slow to get things done. But we're starting to roll again with many new items coming in the next weeks.

Tonight I have a few of the titanium Ghosts finished. These have a nice stonewashed finish and are anodized blue. I will get to other colors later in the week but for now I just have the blue ones. They are $60 plus shipping and the link is here:

Sold Out for today, thank you! I will have more sometime on Wednesday in a different color, probably plain ones next.
