I captured the process to show you guys the work that goes into one of these little trimmers. You saw it here first. To order your trimmer message me on RU-vid. Rate, Comment, Subscribe. Thanks for watching!
I appreciate that. I have a friend that's been telling me the same thing but the reality is I cannot afford to patent my ideas. I just have to put enough skill and finesse into my work that other people's copies of my work look like crap. And sell them cheaper than anyone else. If they want to patent the idea I welcome any law suits they would care to bring against me. I feel posting videos like this show where the product originated. And if someone can replicate it that's okay by me.
I no longer make the hinged trimmer because it is an imperfect tool that produces imperfect cuts. You would be better off using one of my new Shell Preppers than this hinged clipper. rw_keeton@yahoo.com
i would like to purchase a shell trimmer similar to this but would like to cut it off at a length similar to a "mini shell" if you are not interested in making one for me could you please tell me the name and size of the drill bit used to drill the hole for 12 gauge shell.
Two things. I don't make a hinged trimmer now because I have invented and sold hundreds of a much better tool I call a Shell Prepper. Shipping is free. Win?
+Raymond Christie I no longer make or sell hinged trimmers. I make a tool that opens the hull like a can opener. Go to my RU-vid channel if you want to know more. Thanks.
+SoCali.boy760 Nope. I stopped making them a while back and make a new tool now that works better IMO...but I am out of stock and won't be making any more right now.
Why? Just crimp the reload. Even hand-loading one shell at a time, it is faster to just crimp the shell than to go to all this unnecessary work. A punch, a dowel rod with a hole drilled through it, a rubber hammer, and a 2x4 with some holes to hold the shell were my reloaders back in the '70s as a kid. I crimped all my shotshells. Crimp starters are cheap, they are like 10 bucks.
