And that's all I have to say about that!

Where should you send your dollars?

Guess that seals the deal for me. I was going to send my nosewheel to Allan for his bearing mod.
But with this kind of attitude, which is made entirely OUTSIDE of the spirit of education and recreation, I will no longer be ordering anything from him. I wish you luck in your business, Allan. A little humility and an open mind will go a long way toward not losing more customers in the future. - ivana

Good point, but my question is: why would anyone buy the prop wrench from Allan for $70, when they could buy a super Hartzell prop wrench from Avery for $55 ? duh ! ...I could say much more about supporting Avery, who has been one of the good guys.

Great Tool!
Just used mine for the first time today. I rate tools based on how well they make a task easier. This is a great tool-well made and performed as advertised. Thanks Allan!
Mike

I agree 100% with you Mel. As soon as this discussion is finished, (one front at a time) I have another tool ready for release that I am certain you will want, that makes another difficult job easier. Perhaps we could send you one Mel for an evaluation and your opinion,
Thanks, Allan

Whatever the outcome of this debate, there is just too much information in this thread (including, presumably the much awaited video) for it to be deleted. That would be crazy.
It should be moved to the General Discussions area now so that it forms a part of the archives for future reference.
God forbid that it should be deleted and we have to go through the same argument all over again at some time in the future.
