UPDATES Dear Customers, This page is where I will announce up-coming price increases, new tools, modifications to existing tools, etc. Febraury 1st, 2008- We will have price changes. Please update your records or call us for new prices. Thank you! We have an accessories page now with some of our merchandise on it.  The pretty lady modeling the shirts and hats is Jane's daughter, Amy. We are also putting together "PaleoKits for Kids".  These kits have real tools and real fossils so anyone can experience the fun of being the first person to have even seen a particular fossil.  The fish are coming from the Green River formation of Wyoming.  The sharks teeth are coming from Morocco.  We also have some Moroccan Trilobites, but they haven't been put into a kit yet as you have to have a pneumatic tools such as our PaleoAro to be able to extract them from the hard matrix that surrounds them. Coming up shortly you will see a new front end for the Chicago Pneumatic and ME 9100 type tools.  This front end is called our "TriTip" front end.  That's because it will support three types of styli. It will take the stock factory stylus, our 1 1/2" or 2"  sharp stylus or a chisel stylus.  So it makes it a very handy upgrade for your tool.  We are in a testing phase for the correct material for the bushing right now.  What else is new?  I built some "stubby" Micro Jacks for the Philadelphia Academy of Sciences.  They needed some that were short enough to work in a glove box and not hit the lid and also under a microscope without getting in the way.  So these little short guys are only 4 1/4" long as compared to the 7" length of the stock Micro Jack.  Along with the body of the tool being shorter, the on/off valve has been moved to the quick disconnect end of the hose.  The price for these "Stubby" Micro Jacks is the same as for the stock ones, as long as you can give me enough notice to get them into an order that is going in for heat treating and anodizing along with other tools.  There is a minimum charge of $45.00 for heat treating up to 50 lbs. of tool steel.  So if I send one bushing down, it still costs $45.00.  So give me enough lead time to get them into an order with other items. We have a new hose set up for the Aro and Chicago Pneumatic type tools.  This uses the 1/4" Polyurethane hose with the new type quick change fittings.  If you need to replace the hose, disconnect the tool from it's air supply, compress the plastic collar on the fitting and slide the hose out of the fitting.  Then just plug the new hose into the fitting.  When you pressurize the tool, the fitting seals and locks the hose into the fitting.  If you have a genuine Aro that has the metric hose and you need to switch to the American 1/4", I can do an adaptor for you.  I do ask that you send me the tool as it's a little tricky to get the adaptor to seal properly.
