Final ish design for my interchangeable handle

[bellringer]

Right i have the first of the rapid prototypes made which measures 16 inch



The two white parts will be made of aluminium

The bit I have kept under wraps for the min was the piece to keep your Allen key to change tool which will be held by a magnet in the bore in the picture below



I also have the possibility of make half the batch as a shorter handle

About 12 inch is this of interest as well

I don't have price yet but I would like people to message me with what they are interested in anybody that express and interest at this stage will get a discount on the final product once complete


Thank
Alex

Well I have had no response yet if it not knowing the price that putting people off I can't get a price till I know how many to have made this is a big investment for me to make not know how many I am going to sell

I'm afraid Alex this is the general problem with any new venture, folks want to see the finished product & know how much it is gonna cost before placing an order, it's usually a gamble on the part of the supplier as to whether an item is going to sell or not

It's a bit of a back to front approach Alex and you're between a rock and a hard place mate. You might sell a boat load at £20 and non at £30. I could be interested but like everyone else without at least an approximate cost it's difficult to respond positively.

Why don't you do what most suppliers have to do and get projected costs for different quantities. E.g 100, 200 500 and so on. have you spoken to anyone to see if you can trade them, e.g. Dan, Phil etc. Nothing to lose is there?

Between a rock and a hard place Alex why not make samples time material etc would give you break even for them as starters and you know you want one of each anyway good luck mate.

Somewhere along the line you will have to bite bullet and take a risk.

Well target price is £30 I am going to get a cost for 50 and 100 to be made but got to finish the drawings first
