Having a Tamper Tantrum

[hoosierpipeguy]

I use the Czech or a pipe nail most of the time. I've got 2 or 3 custom ones and they are not as functional as the cheap, simple ones.

Pretty much whatever is at hand. Namely a finger, although I have a cheapy China made one that I will someday use.

Looks like an 8deco to me.

LOL Not bad for a buck ninety-five, free shipping.

Wow! I just figured it out (from a members previous post) that it unscrewed. The darn thing is very well made. Going back and ordering eight more in different finishes.

Eight! Don’t they work more than once?

You are supposed to reuse them? Yeah, right, next you'll say pipes are good for more than one bowl full! (No, actually I figured on giving them away. Too late for this Secret Santa session, but hey, there is always next year.))

Are you saying you know where to get these for $1.95?

 

[saintpeter]

Ouch! Not anymore!
Now I'll just get four more.

My bad, I paid 6.95 for it. The reamer was the cheap one.

I find a Rogers pipe knife to be the most useful.
Even use it to carefully ream chambers!

This is the same tool that I use. It's been great. About $20.

I have a few Czech tools. They look old and have a patina finish. Got a cool retro vibe even after I polished them up on the buffing wheel. They are very functional and I got them for cheap on EBEAST.
