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 nonstick 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.

Workhorse Brass Tool now available!

These tools were a fair amount of work, but a fun project and very useful daily carry addition. They work great as a bottle opener, door opener, button pusher, defense mechanism, or really any other creative purpose. Brass is naturally antimicrobial, making it a great material for insulating oneself from high touch surfaces that may contain harmful microbes and disease.

Highlights:

• Cut from 1/4" 260 Brass
• Hand Chamfered, Sanded, Tumbled, Stamped, and Lightly Polished
• 1.5" x 4.3" Overall Dimension
• 0.915" Finger Hole
  

Made in the USA

The Copper Alloy surface material has been shown to reduce microbial contamination, but it does not necessarily prevent cross-contamination.

Workhorse Irons Dot Box

Small batch of Workhorse Dot Boxes now available!! After many requests we decided to do another small batch of these. Originally we made Dot Boxes about 10 years ago using Pulse Width Modulation to create intermittent power bursts for dot work. But we stopped making them after a few years when some others copied the design and outsourced overseas to make a cheap knock off version. 

This has been a fun side project we have been working on to help turn any coil machine into a dot machine for making Dotwork Tattoos using controlled intermittent power bursts. The Dot Box is simple and easy to use! It works in-line and plugs directly into your power supply in the clip cord hole and has a range of speed controlled by simply turning the delay knob.

Yes, there are many ways to do dots and if you have a strategy that works well for you already, more power to you! Our Dot Box is just a different approach, and if nothing else, a fun tool to play with, enjoy!

For Best Performance:

• The Dot Box works best with medium or slow, hard hitting liners....or any shader
• Quick and zippy light hitting machines are not as effective
• Best dots are made using Tight Rounds....Loose Rounds seem to blow out a little bit
• Some machines need to be turned up a Volt or two for better results
• Not recommended for use with Rotary machines...use with Rotary machines can damage the motor
• Timing of the tattoo machine when in use with the Dot Box will create various rhythms and patterns, adjust voltage and Dot Box Delay for varying performance and effect
• Match hand speed to the intermittent power bursts to ensure clean dot patterns.... if the Dot Box is at a slow setting you will need to move slower, fast setting move faster (duh).

*this is not a power supply, you will still need a power supply, the dot box simply plugs into your power supply.
