I've had no luck finding anything locally so tonight I made my first pipe related eBay purchase: a lot of 4 pipe tools! They were $8 and one was about $5 so I'll be set for a couple of extras I reckon. But knowing me, I'll need at least one or two spares. LOL

What kind you get? Just the norm czech tool or type, or something special? Good deal on the lot though regadless.

I'm mobile tonight so I can't get pics uploaded. But I plan to share a photo of what I've been using for a tool tomorrow; you'll all get a chuckle.
It's just the normal Czech tool.
I also ventured my first two bids on estate pipes. Let's just say I'm still gonna be smoking my Graybow for a bit longer, if you're wondering how those auctions went. ;-)

Nothing wrong with grabows, no matter what some say! I have several, and like them all. (except the omega, and that just cuz the mouthpiece...) unless you just dont like them personally...
(I hope this comes through and is there an easier way?)
Yes, that's a lag bolt; it was a defective one in my grandson's swingset kit, no threads. :lol:
@pipedreams101 The Graybow is okay but I didn't have too much ti chose from when I got it; straight rusticated (think that is the right term) is all they had. I'd like a smooth, bent if I'd had a choice.
Nothing a dremel and a heat-gun can't fix my friend! Simply zip off the goofy wannabe P-Lip and sand for comfort. I like to add a bit more bend to the stem too, I simply run a pipe-cleaner down the stem and gently heat; bending by hand until I am happy with the curvature.
As a bonus, you end up with a occular bit; while many extol the virtues of the 'v-cut', I like the concentrated stream, especially when smoking Virginias.
