    Default SM locking tube holder, Griffin L marver

    Doing some spring cleaning

    1. Tube holding tool designed by one of the owners of golden gate.

    This comes with two heavy duty handles, end pieces and stoppers that fit 25mm-50x5. The end pieces/stoppers screw into the handle whole telescoping outwards to lock the handle/stopper into the tube. Works great for finishing small tubes, using scrap chunks, or finishing big jars.

    These handles lock in super tight, once in place, hold it upside down, swing it around, and locks it in so tight I can't pull the tube off it if I tried. Loosen the handle, comes right out. Hollow tool/can blow through

    I'm not doing tubes or jars much anymore so don't have much if a need for it.

    $100 plus shipping. Can email/ text video if interested

    2. Griffin L marver for mirage/delta. Also fits around a cc barrel with no cooling jacket. 30 plus ship

    In Eugene local preferred. PayPal otherwise

    Tube tool to Icarus pending payment.

    Marver still available.

    These tools are no longer in production. They retailed at 300, between high production costs and not a huge demand, it wasn't a feasible product for them to offer. I got a screaming deal and offered it up below cost because TMP is the shit. Y'all welcome.

    You can make these jigs(holders) yourself if you like. The original versions were fabricated from lamp parts back in the JBD metal shop by Vincent Thomas 15 years ago. Threaded tubing... big washers, nut, grommet, and a wingnut to tighten. Not as nice as the production model but you can't get those any more right? Congrats Icarus, sweet tool.

    ^ glad your stoked. Some of the stoppers didn't seem to fit into stock tube sizes? I think if you remove rubber stopper from the metal part and drill a bigger hole on the stoppers, as not to bulge out the rubber so much initially, that should fix that.. I forget which tube sizes they were but there were a couple that were right on the cusp, one size a hair too big, the next a hair too small. Sorry for not mentioning that
