I'll be needing someone to try out my Shooboy 15-22 prototype barrel wrench for FREE

[shooboy]

Just curious as why you took the time to post that, if you are not interested then why even say something ? Shoo

 

[mikehoncho]

my question is why did you use pvc? please don't take any offense at all, but i can't see myself buying something that i can make. if it was all metal with a plastic sleeve inside to protect the barrel that would be a totally different story. curious on the rationale behind your materials choice.

Hi, Thanks for the comment, absolutely no offense taken. The reason for the PVC is to try and keep the cost to you down as much as I can, PVC is relatively inexpensive. The end pieces of the wrench are steel, so I guess if you have your own machine shop then you could go ahead and make your own wrench. The other consideration is shipping weight. Yes, I can make the wrench entirely out of steel and may end up doing that. That may involve other modifications also. This is just a prototype don't forget and I am looking for feedback on it. But I do need someone to actually try it out for me as I don't own a 15-22. Thanks, Shoo

ChattanoogaPhil replies: "No Thanks"

Shooboy becomes curious.



Shooboy, are you sure you want that curiosity satisfied?

 

[shooboy]

Hi Phil, Okay, thanks for clarifying that for me. The reason I did that was there were 700 looks and just a handful of people that were interested in obtaining a free tool, guess I was a little curious. Shoo

 

[mikehoncho]

if you're still looking for someone to try it out, i will most definately. my barrel needs to come back off soon for threading anyway. i'll happily torture test it for you if you want. feel free to PM me if you'd like.

It takes a few pennies and a few minutes to make a barrel wrench for the 15-22. Even someone with two left thumbs can fabricate one.... I'm an example of such. Good luck.

 

[maxicooper]

Count me in for the test.

 

[springfield.45]

count me in i could use one

 

[tacticool22]

Shoo. The large blue coupler will not fit inside the handguard. The nut on top is great for torquing. However, the barrel keys in the upper receiver will take all of that force and damage can happen. The barrel should be clamped. Thats just my 2 cents. Keep on keepin on.
Those hammers are awesome, I need to get one.
Actually, I just bought the Midnight-Pro.

 

[shooboy]

Hi tacticool, Thank you for leading me down the right path, I'll have to do away with the hex end and shorten the wrench so the end of the barrel can be clamped as you suggested. Obviously you have the experience required to figure all this stuff out for the 15-22 and your wrench that you sell is a beautifully machined example, if I had a 15-22 and didn't have access to a machine shop I'd be all over that !!!
I did see you ordered a Midnite-Pro from me and I'll get that out to you on Monday, hope you do like it and you enjoy using it. Thanks once again, take care, Randy aka Shoo

Ah yes! Another ShooBoy® GunSmithin' Tool. "When and if " I get a 15-22, I'll be getting me one of those!! Maybe Ver 3.0 by then.

Shoo, count me out for the drawing. (I've never won a karma in my life, but I'm just saying...)

[Joni_Lynn]

Shoo makes nice stuff and this is a cool give away.
I don't have one of those guns (yet) and don't know a thing about them but Shoo is trying to make something that will help out all the people that do have one and don't have the ability, time or whatever to build their own. Thanks Shoo.

 

[shooboy]

Thanks Guys and Joni Lynn, I have scrapped the original idea and will be offering ShooWrench II as shown below, all steel with rotating Nylon covered steel handles. Thanks to those that have inspired me to see this through and to come up with a much better design, Shoo

 

[maxicooper]

Looks good indeed.

 

[cruz1352]

i will try your product and i'll be truthful. i have bad arthritsts in my hands and finger bones, lets see what YOU can do...

contact me privately on this site.

 

[Brett248Vista]

Little late there Cruz. If you want a ShooWrench they are available for purchase

 

[HalfSwiss]

Wow, wish I had waited to purchase until Shoo II came out!

 

[ladder13]

Shoo makes the best tools out here, bar none. Matter of fact they're not tools but heirlooms.

 

[Temporaryscars]

Yeah, I should have waited too, maybe I could actually get the damn thing off with the Shoo 2.0.

 

[ladder13]

Always good to support an industrious NY'er also.

 

[lcajiga]

Put my name in you hat bro

 

[shooboy]

Hey guys, just to let you know, this is an old thread and I gave the ShooWrench II away quite some time ago. That was a prototype, the production model does not have the handles. It has flats milled into the end for an open end 15/16" wrench. Thanks, Shoo
