A few words from Adam on his history with this machine:
"In 1996 I started making machines known as "Bulldogs" with Mike Malone, as the previous builder of this classic machine had ceased making them, and there was a void to be filled. The idea for this was mine, and I ran it by Mike. He had asked me to build shaders for him to re-sell, as he was happy building liners and didn't feel much of an affinity for building shaders.

So, we embarked on our plan to start re-making the shader known as "the bulldog" and it was to be a partnership. Our partnership, like so many, had some snags, and in our haste to get the project rolling, we never nailed down some key details of the partnership. Predictably, we both made some serious mistakes, both professionally, and privately, and these mistakes ultimately led to some interesting interpretations and speculations of what my role was in making this machine.

I do not claim to own anything surrounding this machine but my work and my word.
I have made this machine, continually for nearly 20 years, and intend to continue making this machine for as long as this demand dictates.

Thank you, Workhorse Irons, for making this project happen, thank you Mike Malone for the opportunity to have a part in the lineage of this machine, and thank you, Fellow Tattooers, who buy my machines and allow me to do what I love."
Respectfully, Adam C

A few words from Adam on his history with this machine:
"I think most of you know that I've been making a version of this machine since about 1999, but, I don't know how many of you really know the story of how this machine came to be…

In mid 1999, the first Pitbull outliners were made by chopping down some bulldog shaders. They ran a bit slow and punchy for what I'd call an outliner, but, they definitely did the job. Over the years, there have been a few iterations of this machine, and almost all of them were based on, basically, cutting up a shader and, either making due with the geometry, or adjusting the geometry.

What we have here is the new version I designed for Workhorse Irons. This machine is based on the dedicated geometry that I've wanted for this machine since, just about, day one. It lends itself to a few different liner configurations without needing to apply any hocus-pocus. Small groupings? Sure. Medium groupings? Yes. Big, fat, ig'nunt-ass outlines? Fuck yeah-continually, since 1999! This machine has a great range, but is basically set up to make big fucking outlines, quickly."

Some words from Bowers on why he made these clip cords:

"A couple years ago I designed this clip cord and built one for myself. The design came from being frustrated with the options that were on the market. When I designed these clip cords I had a list of demands.
-This cord HAD to be repairable, quickly and easily.
-lightweight
-no-stick, flexible cord
-brass or copper leads
Every part of the the clip cord end can be replaced or repaired quickly and easily. Even comes with the parts and tools to do it! You will not be left struggling with a short in your cord, no backup and rummaging around looking for your best broken cord to finish or do the tattoo.The cord is a matte non stick material that glides smoothly along surfaces, it is NOT a 5 lb clip cord you’re hooking up to 3 oz. machine, the brass leads will not groove your binding posts nearly as fast as the standard steel leads found on most clip cords. I’m excited about this new product and to able to finally share it with all of you."

NEW Dan Kubin MCi (Mini Cranker with Impact)!

Step up your tattoo game with the new DK MCi – a plug-and-play remastered version of Dan's Mini Cranker from 2011. Updated and refined, it's designed for precision and ease of use, whether you're using a needle on bar or cartridges. With its wide range of versatility and solid hit, it's a must-have for any tattoo artist.

Specs:

• Steel Frame with HD Light Pink Powder Coat Finish
  
• Weighted Brass Armature
• Deluxe Kubin Components including DK Thumbs and updated Slide Vise

Setup / Usage:

• Works well with Standard Needle on Bar AND with Cartridges
• Possible to run with Cartridges without any adjustment or tricks, but if you pull your rubber band over the armature it will increase the snap at the tip
• This machine is cartridge friendly, but best to use lower tension cartridges if going that route. (Workhorse Eco Carts and Non Membrane Carts work well with these machines)
• Great for Lining and Shading with small to medium groupings, turn voltage up and down for speed and hit adjustment as needed
• Higher voltage between 5 - 7 Volts for most Lining
• Lower Voltage between 3.5 - 5 Volts for most Shading, Color Packing, and Stipple Work
• Polarity is not crucial, but will run slightly more efficiently with Positive Down
• The impact screw can be backed off all the way, but ideal to still have a little impact to reduce motor shaft strain
• Turning the impact screw in too much will result in stalling the machine or putting too much strain on the motor.  
• Ideal impact is about 1/4-1/2 turn clockwise from the point of zero impact. 

Use and Care:

• Please refer to the MCi setup video on my YouTube channel for further clarification - See Link Below
  
• After a few years, the bearings may dry up. You may use A SINGLE DROP of sewing machine oil on the bearings.  DO NOT FILL THE MOTOR WITH OIL!!
• Keep sterilants away from all moving and electrical components!
• Sterilants are corrosive and will damage your machine if used carelessly.

Enjoy!

DK Offset Cartridge Grip! 

The offset helps put the machine over the top of the user’s hand, making it more ergonomic and easier to keep the machine upright when pulling those large square looking lines.

• TWO Versions Available: 
  
  • Heavy Weight 1.25" BRASS Grip and Stainless Steel backstem (8oz)
  • Feather Weight 1.25" ALUMINUM Grip and Stainless Steel backstem (2.75oz)
• Brass is heavier but absorbs vibration more and offsets the pull of a clip cord and or any ass end tattoo machine weight, balancing more over the hand
• Aluminum is much lighter and pairs well with use of a battery to reduce overall weight. Balance is a bit better with the Brass version, but it is a trade off for weight. 
• Offset for better balance and visibility 
• Made of naturally anti-microbial Brass
• Each Grip Comes with 5 Cartridge Drive Bars
• Please cover with barrier film for extra protection!
• Made in the USA by Dan Kubin
