Customizing your tools??

I get bored sometimes and try to make our ridiculously eaaaasy job more challenging......

I paid for those tools also.

Lasted a day or two.

Felt like a sucker for paying hundreds for $0.10 of metal on a plastic stick.

Line products are rediculous. Waaay to expensive.

Have you seen the prices for the implant driver kit they offer? OMG what a rip-off!

I ordered all those for around $40 from ebay.

T4, T5, T6, 0.050" hex, 1mm, and 1.5mm hex etc....

Dynamite R/C tools, and other brands....

NEVER buy anything Dental if you have a choice! Always marked up to the moon!

So, are you going to re-buy that expensive, fragile tool Jason? Or just make one glued to a stick?

Get thin razor and cut into shape and glue to pencil or old broken brush handle.

Yeah. Mondays. Dropped my fav wax carver this a.m. Good bye tip. Guess I'll have to use the CAD today.

 

[JohnWilson]

Sucks Jason, was it your favorite or just started to play with them?

I love smileline and think their products are awesome. I have their implant driver kit and its top notch. Are they worth the extra money? Probably not but they are holding up great and I have no problem with the investment.

 

[Rex Kramer]

Yea I finally started making my own, funny how these have lasted longer.....use one for carving/cutting wax interproximals, even heat it up..that thing is old... its just old school razor blades cut to shape and glued into old brush handles

 

[primus]

That's how ya do it!

Looks like my tools.

 

[JohnWilson]

We all have ghetto tools that can not be replaced. I have a certain wax carver that if I lost I would have to quit

Here are my contraptions. ..exacto handle holding a small steel shimstock and another homemade with a super thin blade for separating interproximals...
