Aaron Cain Copper Tools now available!

Based off Aaron's hand carved Copper Tools, we worked with Aaron on designing a version we could cut and CNC mill to add some extra shape and depth to them, while also keeping them affordable. These tools were a lot of work, but a fun project and very useful a daily carry addition. They work great as a bottle opener, door opener, button pusher, defense mechanism, or really any other creative purpose. Copper is naturally antimicrobial, making it a great material for insulating oneself from high touch surfaces that may contain harmful microbes and disease.

Specs:

• Cut from 1/4" Copper
• Milled, Chamfered, Sanded, Tumbled, Stamped, and Lightly Polished
• 2.5" x 5" Overall Dimension
• Oblong 1.25" x 1.125" Finger Hole
• Limited Run
• Made in the USA

 

**The use of a Copper Alloy surface is a supplement to and not a substitute for standard infection control practices; users must continue to follow all current infection control practices, including those practices related to cleaning and disinfection of environmental surfaces. The Copper Alloy surface material has been shown to reduce microbial contamination, but it does not necessarily prevent cross-contamination.

Workhorse Irons x Sidnaw Company Tattoo Machine Tool Roll!

After many years of discussion, some back and forth, and a few prototypes, our Tattoo Machine Tool Roll is here, and we couldn't be happier with the way they turned out!

Designed for organization, versatility, and built for durability. Inside there are multiple slots and a large, gusseted pocket with an internal zippered front, plus two smaller button pockets for small parts and hardware. The body is made with 20oz waxed canvas.

• Dimensions when closed: 11 x 6.5 x 2in
• 20oz USA 100% Cotton Waxed Canvas
• USA Harness Leather
• Steel Buckles
• Hand Hammered Copper Rivets
• USA YKK Zipper

Available With or Without Tools - if ordered with Tools the roll includes the following:

• Armature Bar Fixture
• Alignment Tool
• Wiss Spring Snips

• Hex and Torx Key Set (9/64 Allen Key, 5/64 Allen Key, T25 Torx Key, T20 Torx Key, T15 Torx Key)

Care:

• Our waxed canvas is simply a duck canvas with wax-impregnated cotton yarns. This results in a fabric that’s as strong as duck canvas with an added layer of protection against water, wind and agitation.

  Waxed canvas bags and garments can be used for months (even years) without requiring care. When caring for waxed canvas, avoid machine washing and submerging in water. Spot cleaning or hosing off the product is recommended. Hang dry only. Re-wax after prolonged use with an all-natural fabric wax to maintain weather resistance.
