I had a classic 3/8 and a classic 5/16. First had the 5/16 upgraded to palmcontrol and the optional tungsten piston. Then had the 3/8 classic converted with the L cuts so I can use both either way foot or palmcontrol. I guess now I have a backup tool. Still hoping that my son will get interested in the trade,craft.art. Help I am a tool addict:smilie5:

I think it took about 15min of practice to learn the palmcontrol, much better than the foot pedal IMHO I only use the regular classic for stippling now.

Jay,
If you have any experience with a push tool you won't have any problems other than knowing how to control your excitement! The tool is unbelievable. If you have never used a push tool you may need about 15 minutes to get used to it. Congratulations on your new toy.

Jay, You'er right about that!!!
It's not the price cause you endup spending the price of the PC on all the other equiptment you buy to setup your shop with others equiptment...
Daggum, A big coyote just ran across my back yard and I live within 25mi of Orlando, FL... You think they came all the way from west of the Mississippi River, if so you think they swam or used the bridges???
