Default "Island" valve adjust tool
I just fabbed up a few "Island" valve adjust tools at the Mackpipes Machine Shop. I can do both .004 and .005 thickness tapes. They are $20 per tool. The perfect stocking stuffer. I will have more made up next week.

Damn, Ted. About 2 weeks to late. I just got one of these from Glenn himself. I would have bought locally if I could have.

Ah , you took the plunge. What color are we replacing? If it's blue I'll take the covers off your hands.
