I have some hammers and drill holders on hand. I'll never make a profit selling these but don't like to give them away since that makes them and my time seem worthless.

So, if anybody wants something and is willing to make make a fair donation to ASCA (or suggest some other non-profit) perhaps we can make a deal. Propose such a deal and I'm sure we can work out the details. If you are coming through the south bay and want to try them out, let me know. I am also open to any trades people might want to suggest.

Offer a trade, donation or money. Since donations are deductible, they should be generous.

I have:

Hammers

Drill holders

Bits

Blow tubes

Brushes

Surplus bags (these are just barely big enough to work as a drill kit bag but too short for drill holders other than mine)

Hey can I get the rubber grip on my bayonet?

Cast a urethane grip on a bayonet holder? I'd have to figure out how to cast the rubber so the springs will still move. Also figure out how to lock the springs down like the strap does now. I'd have to machine a model for the grip and then make a mold from that. Looking at a couple days worth of work if not more. Seems like a lot of trouble but if you want to help I'm sure it can be done.

Leaving a gap in the rubber handle for the springs is going to be the hardest part to figure out.

Russ Walling says he has a bunch of rubber grips. Perhaps they could be modified in some way and made to work.
