Ausgezeichnet, I'm in!
Thanks Tom. Maybe there could be a pre-order or something to help you get it going and to determine price point.
I actually have a couple magneto phones. the plan is to have one in the 140 year old house and one in the new garage so the wife can give me a ring.

This looks great Tom! I will be ordering on day one as I have to retension the belts in about 100 miles.

Nice, I just paid my shop $350 to tension my belt. Could have bought a tool.

I'm with OldAndSlow regarding a deposit to help kickstart the process...either way, I'm adding my voice to the crowd to be put on the list and join the thunderous applause of the crowd in my thanks.

Hi All, work is progressing to make this tool, though it will be at least a few months until I can offer them for sale. Appreciate all the support and interest!

Ran into this post tonight Googling "Porsche 9201"

So I registered. Tool looks amazing. I'm in for one. Please.

I called Pelican parts today just to check on the status of the factory tool and they said still no word. I asked when was the last time one was sold? Last October he said. I then asked, for how much was the tool sold for?

Customer service said, "$1600."

I almost swallowed my tongue.

Had to double check. Bought mine just over a year ago for slightly less… 09-Jul-24, $1521. I’d just missed an Arnnworx tool on fb marketplace out of Vegas by a few hours after weeks of searching.

I purchased my tensioning tool used in 2003 for around $400. As I recall, the new price was around $650.
