Big Blue is the only delta link loaner - OEM EOL'ed

Post by matthew1 »

John's outstanding, combat-rated Big Blue delta link tool is the only delta link tool MVS is lending now. I made the decision to drop the OEM tool from the lineup (End of Life... "EOL") after #4 got stolen in the US Mail system about three weeks ago. It arrived with the box torn open... the entire side of the box. It was not an accident... the recipient of the box sent me photos. :evil:

Number 3 never was returned to me, and its new owner forfeited the deposit. Strangely, I was in contact with him over email just recently, negotiating a buy-back, but he went silent again. :shock: :?

Numbers 1 and 2 were damaged/destroyed/replaced when the threads stripped because too much force was used.

So that's four delta link OEM tools inside of four years, and I'm done. But only because John created Big Blue. If it wasn't for John's generous time and creativity, I'd still be on the OEM tool Pain Train.
Help keep MVS on the web -> click sponsors' links here on MVS when you buy from them.

Also -> Amazon link. Click that when you go to buy something on Amazon and MVS gets a cut!
