4th Generation Pipe Tool

[Bassman65]

I have been wanting a 4th Generation pipe tool for a while. They’ve always been to expensive though having been made by Rodgers.

I saw one for sale at an ok. Price. Even though no longer made by Rodgers, but from China, I figured I’d give it a go. It’s still a 4th generation and looked similar enough.

It arrived today. Unfortunately, the fit and finish is a little less than desired. Had a big crack/hole at one end. Ah well, you get what you pay for.

Returning is crazy expensive. Luckily the seller offered me $10 off as a refund. Better than a bag of pucks.

That is some shoddy shit right there!

Buyer beware. Treat it as a "learning moment."

that's a feature. You're supposed to put a guard spider in that "crack".
