Precise ELA Telescoping MOD by Super-T Manufacturing PT 2

[Riverboat]

That's what I love about David's Satin finish.... I call it a Silky Grey look.....

Working on orders through July 1st and should have them shipped by Wednesday.

Wow that was fast. So I am 7/8/14... No need to rush though as I requested my ELA V2 in Satin...

Finally! The proud owner of a Super-T product

My satin slant cap for the ELA arrived today, I can almost imagine the full ELA attached, mmmm, haha

Jokes aside, this thing already reeks of quality. The satin truly is an amazing & unique finish. The edges & threads, well done, smooove. The heft too! Love heft! My Screwdriver weighs in at 35g without a battery(i think its ~51g w/ batt) and this slant cap alone is 27g, haha.

Can't wait to get mine....shipping notice hasn't moved yet.

How wide is the standard top cap on the ELA?

 

[EbenezerScrews]

This slant cap tapers from 24.5mm to 22mm.

Received the flat bottom switch for my ELA V1 today. Threaded it on to my ELA. Machining is perfect as always. I am really enjoying it. Pushing the button has a very smooth feel to it. I am very happy with the purchase.

I don't see why not.......

Just in case..checking with the elder members of the family for experiences..maybe the finishing is special,those cloths are a no-no..so i guess its ok

Same here, haha. I don't particularly like brass, or anything shiny, but a nice worn in patina has character.

Does anyone have photos of brass accent rings showing such a patina? Pretty please...

EDIT: Duh, one of the first Google Images results, haha. Overlooked. Assuming that's from a member here. The same member has an ELA with what looks like blue/green accents, hmmm...I don't think these are natural patinas, haha. Unless Super-T put out a limited run of unusual rings

Nothing really special per say...... Just good solid stainless steel that has been brushed to a beautiful elegant finish. Not too shiny , so no fingerprints.... Just clean with a microfiber cloth and alcohol for normal cleaning. If and when it gets dirty, wash with soap and water, rinse, dry.....

For the occasional polishing, use a non-abrasive metal polish such as the Cape Cod cloths, Sunshine cloths, Flitz etc. If you get some hairline scuffs etc.... Use Autosol or Simichrome or other quality metal cleaners.

Just make sure that you DO NOT use any polish of any kind on the Rhodium/ Palladium contacts. Just wash or clean with alcohol when you get juice condensation on them.

Patina'd brass accents

Blued SS accents

 

[EbenezerScrews]

Thanks Nach! Those are the pics I was referring to, I do like the look of that brass

 

[Durty D]

Nach, I've seen your pic with those blued SS accents before and I've always wondered by what process you blued the steel? There are numerous ways and I'm quite curious which one you used. Love the look!

Sweet! I am going to use those pics later on and say they are mine

Typical lifespan that lithium based batteries have are ~300 cycles

Got a new pair of batteries.... What a difference, from now on no more milking out old batteries.....
