Hi, this is Wayne again with a topic “I have 100,000 Metal Shafts”.
Since you’ve dabbled in making tools like screwdrivers, have you considered making tools for firefighters or paramedics? I carry a screwdriver in my bunker gear pockets and I love it. Larger tools are common yeah, we’d, consider making other tools. We have a hundred thousand shafts from the original manufacturer for the screwdriver that don’t meet our screwdriver shaft quality standards, so they are effectively garbage just metal tubes. We have 100 000 of them, so we are trying to find some use for them uh without consulting me. They asked for them to be shipped to us, so I paid Freight over the ocean for a hundred thousand metal shafts is less than you would think they weren’t air, shipped or anything or came on a boat, yeah, um, yeah, very slow boat and um.
We’Ve got some ideas, uh one. The idea that I pitched first was we make something called a fail wrench. So if you can, if you can dodge a hundred thousand dollar loss, then you can dodge a fail range, so we just melt them and just make like a stupid, crappy adjustable wrench and the team was like. No, we can’t do that. It’Ll be it’ll take forever to make it to your standard. I’M like no, it’s a fail range yeah.
It doesn’t have to be to buy stuff like trash, just make it like a bonus bin. I don’t think yeah buy your shirt, not free shipping shirt weighs 200 grams. Wrench weighs five pounds. One of the ideas we’re working on it’s a big wrench uh. One of the ideas we’re working on now is turning them into a fail pen, like kind of like a bolt-action style thing.
We’D have to get the ergonomics right, though, and one of the reasons that they’re not deemed acceptable is that the knurling kind of sucks, but what sucks about it, is that it’s not deep enough, so it might actually be okay for a pen, um yeah, there’s there’s Some other ideas for things we could melt them down into, but, like I don’t remember what the question was: have we oh yeah, we thought of making more tools, yeah we’re gon na make more tools. That’S that I I give you my guarantee, but we’re probably going to be mostly focused on Tech tools, just because that’s where the book makes our audience is yeah. .
