Hooligan Howes Posted August 27, 2019 Share Posted August 27, 2019 Redwing screw knives. Unfortunately they tend to fall in the expensive category. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hooligan Howes Posted August 27, 2019 Share Posted August 27, 2019 There's a company that takes brass cases and puts a screw driver bit in them. Maybe someone knows the name. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DustyDave Posted August 28, 2019 Author Share Posted August 28, 2019 Thank you for the link. Are the Redwing knives shaped to work the same as the Palo Verde? They work pretty slick in the videos. I had a case stick in the chamber and pop off the extractor in my first match ever. The Palo Verde would have been handy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Three Foot Johnson Posted August 28, 2019 Share Posted August 28, 2019 I made a couple from broken/work out pocket knife blades and shed antlers. They don't have the extra $115 of pretty that the Red Wings do, but accomplish the same thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oak creek martin Posted August 29, 2019 Share Posted August 29, 2019 Here is a product that I am making. I call them cowboy screwdrivers. They are American-made hollow ground tool steel bits. Epoxied into various Laminated Hardwoods , such as a paduk, blood wood, zebra wood bacote, purple heart,osage orange,American hickory and walnut and many others. The screwdrivers are $80 each and sheets are available for an additional $30. People have been very pleased with what we are making and I hope to share them with many other shooters. You can send me a PM for more information. Thanks Oak Creek Martin. PS many other cool items available soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Palo Verde, SASS # 56522 Posted August 29, 2019 Share Posted August 29, 2019 The PV Un-jammer tool is specially shaped and sized to be able to get inside the '73 mechanism and do the Un-jamming magic. To do this, it must be very thin and very strong. It is therefore made from high quality spring steel. Redwing makes beautiful screwdrivers of heavy Damascus steel and they work well as screwdrivers but they are not sized or intended to do the '73 Un-jamming. Although the PV Un-jammer can be used to "snug up" a screw it is not intended to be able to really torque a screw down. Two different products for two different purposes.

And the accompanying video is awesome. Could have used a sexier model, but the one used obviously knows his stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
