    Default The INFINI-V new style V necking tool

    105.25 shipped, for those not wanting to go to Etsy!
    If there are any errors or anything i've missed, or bad grammar, confusing statements, please let me know! I tend to re-read a few times.. and then i sorta glaze over and post it.

    These are the first batch of Infini-V's I am releasing. After a couple years of this idea kicking around in my head, I finally got to use my prototype for about 3 months before I managed to lose? it at Glassroots! Luckily I had the initial batch ready to replace it!

    I will work on getting some function videos of this, I posted a teaser video on my instagram page. I will probably post some function vids to instagram.. so keep an eye out @firekist on instagram.. and facebook Firekist Glass. (ok, these will be really boring videos.. maybe i need to light them on fire or something..)

    I have a limited number of these available, and I hope to get some feedback before the next batch gets made.

    The etsy page says most of what i have to say about it.. I'm glad to finally have another idea for an improved tool out of my head, and on my bench.

    hit me up with questions you may have, thanks! (if you want to message me, please email! firekistglass@gmail.com, or kik or IG..maybe tapatalk will make messaging through the board easy now.. i dunno)
    thanks!

    I will get one for sure, your tools look very sleek seth.

    Will you be distributing these through blast shield like your swivels?

    Blastshield has a few as of now, and I think we plan to @lost neblua.
    His supply might be tenuous for a little while, but yes.

    Yes, they happily fit in the blastshield marver quick release pocket.. (fortunate coincidence!) I wish I knew who all picked these up from madison!

    His was in the place of the v tool, not mounted via the quick release pocket. I'll snap a pic on sat when I'm where he's set up.

    this is badass!!
    hell it looks like it might be possible to mount wheels that have no edge on them, to also double as a set of bench rollers?

    I don't think I would try to use these as a roller.. basically all rollers out there have a bearing to spin on, and these do not.
    In a pinch, without much weight, no problem.

    Wow.. modified already! I'd love to see this mounted/used on the side of a blastshield!

    I found a pic of the side of his torch on his FB. The rollers are mounted to the side, not the back, they flip up & down for use & to be out of the way. Click image for larger version.

    Exactly orange slice! Them rotating with the glass stops the cold glass from scraping against tool.

    I made a couple videos.. they were too half assed and boring to show anyone.. I'll be trying again next week.
