How we coming on that new NRV, non-slip tool?

No, I don't sell these. A long time ago I made a couple for myself, just to test if I could make a sturdier example of the original Primus tool (No.1592) of this design.
A couple of years ago a discussion in here on the subject prompted me to tell how I made them, and that's also when I made those crummy YouTube videos...

I searched the forum to find where I posted more details of how I initially designed this tool.
That one is more or less a prototype, and it has some flaws, but it works perfectly.
But there is probably still plenty of room for improvements.
I think it's posted at a couple of locations, but you could check this one.

 

Keith, maybe. Guess the Thermos would be under more pressure. Luckily don't have to do that often. Twice out of over 100 stoves.

@Christer Carlsson Ah, they were you videos...

I remembered that someone(I was thinking you, but I was not sure...) here also had those tools but I was too lacy to search for that topic.

To make a "perfect" tool is an endless project, there is always something to improve. I was thinking to make a tool with interchangeable head part to fit different diameter pump tubes. Maybe it's better to make few different size tools for different applications.

 

You are correct Afterburner. Something like that. But you would also need to have a different pump tube cap if you intend to use it one the smaller stoves like Radius 20, 21 and similar.
That's why I found two versions of the tool above to be the best: one for the smaller stoves and one for the more common, larger ones.
The adjustable support for the pump tube cap also allow it to be used on lamps and blow lamps, and quite frankly, that's what I mainly use it for since I tinker with lamps much more than stoves.

 

Hi

I wonder if it was my thread you were thinking of @hikerduane
I started one while back regarding such a tool
I had a plan to make some of these a little while back for the FB, along with the standard type, but I've been unsuccessful in finding the time to make them (and some other commissions from the last Newark too).
Originally, my semi retirement 18 months ago, meant I would only work a couple of days a week (for my beer and holiday money) including this type of work for CCS, but unfortunately (or fortunately depending on how I look at it) my little limited company has grown to such an extent, that I now work a full week, leaving no time for such tools . In fact, I now employ a retired ex colleague P/T to cope with the extra manual machining that I can't cope with over and above my own work, but he doesn't do CNC machines which is the only way of this type of work being viable for me if I have to pay someone else to do it.
For my man to make them manually, I would end up paying him more (per hourly rate) than I could possibly charge CCS for them , which is where CNC comes in to it, in my particular case.
Aside from this, I'm paying different trades now to work on my house because I just can't find the time to do it myself, which does stick in my throat a little bit, but I can't work full time in my business and be moving my house forward at the same time.
So all in all chaps, when I sit down and reflect on my life, I have'nt actually semi retired at all, I've just changed who I work for full time I don't know what the near future holds for my business, but for now I'm out of the equation I'm afraid

Sorry for waffling, just wanted to state my position, if it was me you were thinking of

Cheers

 

I couldn't recall who started the talk or the possibility of such a tool. I realize such a tool won't be cheap, but sure would be worth the money. I just got a newer 96 last week, the nrv came out easily, but another I forgot about is now coming too, will see what it needs.

Just checking, anyone kicked this off yet, havnt been around much of late to be aware

Cheers

 

Sorry fella's, need to clarify here, are these tools now available to members ? Or not ? Or is there another tool available since this discussion ?

 

You don't know if the air is coming thru the NVR or is errant air coming from around the cap/plate at the end of the pump tube that the NVR screws into.

I acquired a Primus 210 (you may recall my post of a year-or-so ago showing the one on the Evilbay painted black) whose NRV resists all my efforts at removal with the standard tool, and my soldering skills are minimal. So I (like others, I'm sure) would dearly love to acquire (or rent) a tool such as seen in the video.

Does anyone have one for sale or rent?

BTW after removing the black paint I found a nice 210, not badly scratched or etched, with engraving quite clear. Only one leg with a bit too much solder repair.



Thanks, all, for your continued excellent advice.
