Torx Set for Spyderco's?
Should we evoke Torx-Plus? Grrrrr. Torx may be Torx, but there is also Torx-Plus and sometimes that can be an issue. Mark A.- Mark A.

Small problem with a Wee NS
I made a sleeve on a lathe out of PEEK plastic to hold it in. This sleeve also takes some slop out of the battery compartment. The sleeve holds any pill in place and can be removed if desired. I don't have the ability to post an image but I could e-mail some to anyone interested in making one...- Mark A.

Streamlight Nano> Awesome!
Lighthound sells them for $6. BrightGuy sells them for $8, and has very reasonable prices on batteries. If you would buy 392 batteries from say Home Depot, you'd pay around $3.00 each, so a swap-out would cost $12 (twice what a new light sells for). They are great little lights.- Mark A.

Sales Thread -- La Petite Killer
I received my Petite Killer with the "reversed polarity converter" yesterday and gave it a good examination today. It appears well designed, well toleranced, and expertly machined. Its small size evokes industrial jewelry. Viewed this way, the selling price is a bargain for the workmanship...- Mark A.

Recall of La Petitie Killer
Fred, Too bad about all the headaches on this small, custom light. I give you high praise for your communication with your customers. As before, PEEK sleeves can be very useful. I will weight the options you have presented, and let you know later. Again, kudos for your honorable...- Mark A.
