A couple of New Tools i've got in the last couple of months

the Carbidizer is 25 ish yrs old and a big old Industrial unit used in Machine shops etc to harden the cutting edge of tools before cheap disposable tips came along I got cheap but still works and has full instructions (quite comprehensive on a wide range of applications) and controls so probably a better job than those simple self build ones.

Its something to play with at the moment and try a few ideas and different applications see where it goes and maybe tip my drills used on G10 ;)

the Hot knife is a luxury Item to speed up and make easier webbing and paracord stuff as im doing more

Very cool. I was hoping maybe I could find one used as well, but it looks to have been mainly sold (before the owner retired) in Europe/UK and even then they appear to be rather rare.

Carbidizers seem to be one of those things that are incredibly useful when you need one, but also incredibly expensive for what it actually is.
