Why I love my screwdriver.

[just4747]

Hmm you mean the part # 35-410 down a little? It looks very similar to the RS one, it's so hard to tell if it's better quality or not, but that's definitely the little threaded adapter sitting on it that I need! Maybe I should take a trip to Home Depot or somethin...

Hey Lurker, look familiar? Sorry for crappy cell pic again.

 

[CaSHMeRe]

Just ... look farther down. lots of them! Shoot ... if its not what you need, luckily, its only a $.75 cent gamble ... damn cheap! LOL

EDIT: I feel like you guys are modding cars! this is awesome!!!

 

[Lurker]

Sounds like you got it working These look better but they don't mention what sizes:

Pushbutton Switch - PBS Series | Lamb Industries, Inc.

I don't know if HomeDepot will have them. Maybe a hobby type shop. Or just get them from Trog already modded (no cool colors). At least you know you can do it with the RS if you ever need to.

 

[Liberate_Yourself]

Hahaha I second that CaSH!

I need to get me one of these things to try out and play with.. they look awesome!

 

[trog100]

Okay, yeah I definitely don't have that thing in mine lol. The only things with threads on them at all, is the switch housing (right under the button) and the little round adapter that screws onto that from the outside...that's it. So we clearly have two different things..

u do dude.. u have just took it apart wrong.. the part u say u dont have is specially made.. its there but still in the body.. dont mess it up cos they dont come from tandy..

big trog arm and a leg money those... we have to hand make em.. he he

yes.. but nothing will knock the screwdriver from its perch.. the screwdriver aint made by any tom d-ck or f-cking harry.. its the first.. just like ruyan was the first..

everything else will just be a poor copy..

While you're there Trog: I sent you an email a few days ago... did you get it?

 

[just4747]

I hope you're not implying that people like me and Lurker who are simply taking it apart for fun and have no other plans after that, are going to start reproducing these and selling them for cheaper or something??? Cause we're not..well at least I'm not lol.
I'm just learning how to replace the buy-able parts in case I need to because A. It was a lot of money to buy and B. I live in U.S. so it's a pain to send it back when it needs fixing if I don't have to.

 

[ted26]

Nope not having a dig at anyone, just pointing out that people are gonna copy the screwdriver !

Shame really

 

[ted26]

Yeah i am sure only you can make such a brilliant battery holder

 

[trog100]

Yeah i am sure only you can make such a brilliant battery holder

we make an e smoking system.. a whole package.. help forums the lot.. its the first of a new generation of e smoking devices.. its bound to get copied..

but an e smoking device aint gonna get far without a power source now is it.. all e cigs have batteries and holders to contain them .. as yet ours happens to be the only one that works in a reasonable way ..

anyways ted.. it will be interesting to see what the future brings.. what janty brings out.. what totem bring out plus all the tom d-ck and harrys...

will the screwdriver survive or wont it.. he he

Just imagine in 100 years time on the Antiques Roadshow:-

The little old lady is sitting expectantly and the table while the expert examine s the Srewdriver : " Well the cerainly looks like an original Trog, we'll just check: Oh no, look at that adaptor ring, you can see the laser moulding, the original Trogs were done on a thing called a lathe. Sorry it's a late 21st century forgery"

The little old lady, knowing her dreams of untold wealth have gone, nods with a look of bitter disappointment on her face...

That's just their comeback when it turns out it's a worthless piece of old crap.

 

[trog100]

he he he...

the poor old screwdriver has a lot to cope with.. the might of the chinese empire.. ted26 who really thinks its worth bugger all and is just an overpriced rip-off..

plus all those tom d-ck and harry guys up to their dirty tricks

"there can only be the one"... anybody remember that highlander series..

will the "screwdriver" become legend or just disappear up its own ....... like most things do... only the future will tell.. he he

"there can only be the one"... anybody remember that highlander series..

Yeah. In hindsight everyone wishes "there would be only one." Unfortunately there were a good four or so. The last one I saw was just a bunch of action sequences dubiously sewn together with Christopher Lambert's impression of "acting".

 

[trog100]

yes it did kinda lose the "plot" as it went along..

did u see christopher lambert as tarzan.. one of the things i read as kid was tarzan.. i took it all in and thought it was real.. until i found out the auther wrote early science fiction and had simply moved venus to the african jungle and made it all up...
