My real good Christian partner approached me about that idea and talked us out of it. You are right though. The slagenator is at best a low budget marketing campaign. Just a Dad & son project, both real good union elevator craftsmen, with wives telling us how far out of budget we are with this i...

Slagenator.com just got fired up. Let me know what you think.

I like the directional light. Perhaps it can be a colored light for better contrast. I have made some prototypes on wooden handled chipping hammers. It works good there. Putting a different light profile on the light is something I want to do but haven't found a light source compatable with growing ...

I like the custom tip on that thing.

The lights primary function is not for use while swinging or aiming. It may be a useful secondary function but primarily it is nice to have a light capable of inspecting for slag or undercut. You can shine the light for fillet welds at an angle to find the undercut shadow. I need a careful examinati...

I will ask how to join the NFL club.

I will ask how to join the NFL club.

The guys on the job didn't have to pay shipping and some of them wanted San Diego charger colors. Had to be careful because I don't have a deal with the NFL

I have been selling them to the guys on the job for $49.95 plus shipping. Just buying a good flashlight is pricey now. The guys who use them say they like using it. I seen a guy yesterday walking around in the basement and using the slagenator as a flashlight just waking around. Looked like a new ty...

Not that time.

The misc. steel contractor on this new construction job gets this new helper. The welder tells him to go plug the ground into the negative terminal on the machine and put the clamp on something metal. Welders over there trying to struck an arc and he can't get it going. The helper decided to hook hi...

If I don't keep my tools in my belt bag or a drop light hanging up above my head. It will end up getting knocked down the shaft. I have used magnetic lights. Looks pretty cool spiraling down a 200 foot shaft. I pretty much have every tool imagine able or access to it. I've knock just about all of in...

Bring on the humor, I like it. We all live a different yellow sub. The hammer light isn't that big a deal, just a little idea. Be interesting but American ingenuity is what the dream is all about. Bad enough we compete with the foreign market, now we get Americans tearing apart Americans ideas disco...

I am researching a way to incorporate the lights into the head And/or the handle. Unscrewing an end cap in the handle to replace batteries. A switch to move around which way the light comes out. Keeping it impact resistant is going to be a challenge. Working in low light welding conditions I need a ...

Thanks for the encouragement.

I do have a light amour setup that I use to weld on my wooden handled chipping hammer heads. Sometimes on top. Sometimes on either side. Same for my est wing chip ham. The spring handle is simply what the employer typically buys and they are a world wide corp. with tens of thousands of employees. My...

I do have a light on my hard hat. Welding in elevator rail brackets are always in a shadow behind the rail. I do my weld inspection as I chip. Slag is usually afraid of my chippingworking hammer so when it hits,slag runs for its life. The light on the chip makes the inspection complete without revis...

Here's a picture of the slagenator

I do a lot of stick welding and 232 wire in elevator shafts. Kind of a dark place. Welding off extension ladders with my bags holding my slag cleaning tools. I started taping my flashlight to my chipping hammer to remove my grab the flashlight move. Thought what a great idea. So I patented a chippin...
