Joshua Bowers High-Jack

The High-Jack attaches to your workstation magnetically and plugs in to the "machine" port on your power supply effectively moving your clip cord jack 5 feet into the air. This is the ideal position for your clip cord to hang from to keep it off the floor and free from rubbing, tugging, and snagging as you work.

• No more rolling over your cord with your chair
• Keep your cord off the floor
• Reduces the weight hanging off the back of the machine
• Reduces tugs and snags as you tattoo
• Extends the life of your clipcord

A few words from Joshua about The High-Jack:

"The High-Jack is a product I developed to make my clipcord drape and move more easily. The High-Jack magnetically attaches to your work station and plugs in to the Machine port on your power supply. Your clip cord then plugs in to the High-Jack, effectively lifting the clipcord jack 5 feet in to the air. This allows the cord to drape naturally from above you, doesn’t rub on the floor, doesn’t snag across your lap and it takes weight off of the back of the machine easing hand fatigue greatly.

The High-Jack Switch has all the great features of the basic High-Jack with the great new feature of having a switch box at the end to be able to toggle back and forth between two cords. This is a great feature for people using multiple cord types or just want two cords connected so they don’t have to switch cords back and forth. The toggle move from side to side selecting which cord is powered with off in the middle, so you can run on constant and turn your machine off at the High-Jack.

I have been using this product for over a year now, along with the rest of my shop. We were originally just testing them out but I speak for me and the rest of the shop when I say that we can’t imagine tattooing without them now."

Made in the USA

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 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.

Dan Kubin V3/24 Sidewinder!

• DK Thumbscrew, new Armature Bar, and updated Stroke Wheel for improved performance
• The renowned rotary liner.  Effortlessly sink any size line by just grazing the skin.

Machine Setup:

• Standard Needle on Bar:
  • Needle Bar Tensioner - when setting up your needle and tube, position needle tensioner in desired position depending on the amount of tension you want to add to the needle bar. Adjust position by loosening the thumbscrew and then tightening when you reach desired tension. 
  • Rubber Band alternative setup - Loosen / remove thumbscrew to take the needle tensioner off. Then when setting up the machine, wrap a thick rubber band around the motor cap and across the front of the machine to add needle bar tension. It is recommended that you use Thick Rubber Bands and Dan's Perfect Nipples. 
    
• Cartridges: wrap a rubber band around the motor cap and over the top of the armature bar to counteract the cartridge's upward tension. Thick or standard rubber bands both work, it will just depend on the tension of the cartridge membrane or band to determine with rubber band provides the proper counter resistance.

Here are a few words from Seth on this new machine:

This is a frame style I’ve been wanting to do for a long time, and finally got around to making it happen. Based almost entirely on an English doorbell I found at a flea market, with exact geometry, it hits HARD and can push any liner grouping on very low voltage and amps. PLUS I added in a new vise lock mechanism that holds any  tubes.

The response to these new doorbell liners has been overwhelming and exciting. It’s been a long time since I’ve designed and built a machine that gets me this hyped!

I think I’ve cracked the code on this one, my friends. Compact and sturdy, built to last a lifetime.

A few words From Seth about this machine: 
"Woooooo damn these little dudes hit HARD. Weighing a mere 5.3 oz and CNC cut from a solid block of aluminum, they’re built to push the big stuff, from 7 on up. The common shortcomings of aluminum frames have been eliminated, with a steel insert at the clipcord connection, and beefy side plate with nice smooth radii where it meets the base and spring shelf, making this frame just as stiff as iron. 8 layer shorty coils stay nice and cool while pushing those baggy 18 liners all damn day. The guillotine style vise with hold any tube, steel or plastic."
