I like both of those ideas.  Sadly I have no engraving equipment so the Rohrbaugh coat of arms is not something I can do in my basement.  I have looked into having it engraved elsewhere and it would drive the cost of the tool up through the roof unless I was doing 50 - 100 pcs at a time.  And so far I only have 4 orders.  HOWEVER, if I ever do get enough orders to justify engraving I'll replace any previously sold DRT's at no additional charge. 

The holster idea is something I was talking to my son about just yesterday.  While I can't do much for already existing holsters I'm going to try to incorporate a DRT into any Rohrbaugh holsters I make in the future.   

Thanks for the suggestions.

That sound like a very clever idea. Looking forward to getting mine. Thank you.

Please post pics of your incorporation of the DRT into a holster. That sounds neat.

I just want to let everyone know that I'm still waiting for my shipment of allen (Hex) keys.  According to the tracking info they were shipped on the 20th and have been sitting in a USPS facility in Chicago since the 21st.  I'm contacting the company now to see if they can help me out.  If not I'll just order another batch of them.   Sorry for the delay on the DRT's but I'll get it straightened out as soon as I can.

My order of Hex Keys finally arrived and the DRT's are ready to ship.  I think I have sent everyone who placed an order either an email or a PM giving them the payment info.  In case I missed anyone The DRT's run $25 and it is payable via PayPal to:

If you want to place an order please send me your name and address first.  PM's are ok but email works better for me.   

Thank you everyone for the orders.

By now everyone has probably gotten their DRT's. (If not it should be there shortly.)

Would you take a minute and critique them for me.  I'd like to hear if there is anything at all that you would change to make it better and more useful.  I want to put the best, most useful tool that I can out there so your suggestions will be welcome.  And if you want something on the one I sent you changed let me know and I'll see if I can make it happen at no charge to you.

I hope you're enjoying the tools.  Thanks for your business.

Brian,
    This tool looks very handy. I've got a couple of RJs originals and they are  a great help.
I'm sure they are but are the hex keys you use well made? We all know what happens when the head deforms on one.
I guess it could be used for the punch then? I use the tool to help hold open the slide for proper clearance to punch out slide pin. Just trying to figure out if a punch could be incorporated into the tool also?
Looks like I'll buy one anyhow. I love the nifty tools especially when it comes to dealing with the Pup!!
Thanks for going the extra mile.

Hi Brendon.

I purchased hex keys that I think are very good. They are sold as an extra torque heat treated 8650 chrome nickel alloy.  I'm very wary of the aluminum threads in the frame so I make sure not to over tighten my grips screws.   I believe the narrow width of the brass on the DRT helps by not allowing you to put as much torque on the screw as you might with the long end of a standard hex.  That said, I think the trick with any hex key is to make sure you use the right size and that is properly seated before and during rotation. 

Regards.

Brian:      Received my DRT tool today. Tested it in action and it worked flawlessly. Great job. It would have been better if you had signed it with your initals, fancy scrolling or R9 on it, but then it may have cost me $125.00. Thanks

You could put the word "NO" in front of them.
