The last time he was here was April 2022.

Try sending him a pm.

Will do, thanks for the info.

I messaged him on eBay and he's still making the handles. He asked me to tag him here so he could respond.

What's his seller ID on the Bay?

Richard is an awesome guy! I saw the same listing that @Tomzo did and reached out asking if he could make a "Mini" version for my 3" vise. He liked the idea and challenge and sold me one (I had to force him to take the money since he said it was an experiment and would help him with his 3D training). The first one didn't have enough clearance at the base of the vise,


but using a Nylon spacer it worked fine; Richard wasn't happy though, so I sent photo's and lots of measurements and a week or so later this arrived unannounced (well, USPS did alert me of an inbound package):




This one was perfect! I asked was he going to sell these as well, but he said it was just a test and for me to enjoy the only two in existence.

Being me, I kept the first one, and last year when I got a 4" self-centering vise and "fixed it," one of the mods was to add a hex to the end of the shaft for my 1st Osteg:



Richard also has a seldom used YT channel:

I just messaged him through e bay and I didn't see anything.

This style works well for me. The speed wrench lives on the vise, kept in place with a set screw and leaves the remainder of the drive available for a wrench for tightening.

Anyone heard from this guy?

I got nothing through e bay.

I emailed him on your behalf (don't know if the email I have is still active: last exchange we had was 2-1/2 years ago), and I'll let you know if I get anything back.

Still waiting, this don't sound too promising any more,
