Bought a new Weaver Rivet Press

[Trox]

What makes those real time systems expensive is that they need a GSM phone card subscription along with the GPS system. Then the system will send you lots of SMS or emails with updated position (on time intervals, one a minute or so). Then of course it's a computer program that manages it all and display it graphically on your GPS receiving unit. This is how most of these such systems works today. Then the GPS unit is also backed up with GSM position and need of coverage of Mobil internet (for greater accuracy) . It's all in one package and it's a limit of how many collars you can use on one system. It's much used on hunting dogs here where I live.

Nice machine. But nobody makes a autofeed machine for those good old copper rivets.  

I would be all over that. 

There's nothing like getting a new machine like that and realizing how much time youre saving and that the purchase was completely worth it. For me the top four would be the clicker, the sewing machine, the 4 sided edge beveler, and the heritage dye box. I increased my capacity ten fold.

I have the weaver dye roller for edges, and it's awesome.

 I forget what the dual sided edge finisher cost, but it was ridiculous compared to the $50 dye box. Going from hand finishing with a dauber for fifty dollars is a no brainer. Much cleaner for me as well. Then again I only use black dye for the edges and it's not conducive for cleaning. I just use what I have in the box and forget cleaning the applicator sponge. Ill buy a new one if/when it becomes an issue. 6 months and no issues.

Same here. I have Henry Ford's philosophy on color, you can have whatever color you want as long as it's black.

I have the heritage dye box and hated it. It's sitting under the bench and now use sponge paint brush, and works like a champ. $100 and somebody can take it

The dual sided one or the single sided blue box? I'll take you up on it if it is the dual sided heritage II box.
