    Closed until further notice

    Just thought I'd share here that the store will remain closed until I recover from an injury. I stretched or possiblly have a partial tear of the ulnar collateral ligament, that's located on the inner side of the thumb between the thumb and finger. It's from the quality control checking I carry out on the torches before sending them off. The constant loosening and tightening of the bezels I think is the main culprit, especially the larger models. Good excuse for a nice break anyway.

    It's not just a little sore mate, I literally can't grip anything without terrible pain, left thumb and wrist are in a splint and my right thumb is getting sore also from overloading it, so I have to stop.

    The Convoy torches arrive in a state where quality control checking is an absolute must. I have to tighten screws, retaining rings, open the head to clean flux residue off the led surface, and mod a few things to be fit for resale. I just can't continue without it hindering the healing process. I've been working through the pain for 3 months and it's only getting worse.

    It's not just a little sore thumb lol.

    I had a similar experience and doctor told me to change hands when masturbating to avoid the RSI.

    It takes 43 muscle's to frown and 17 to smile, but only 3 for proper trigger pull.
    What more do we need? If we are above ground and breathing the rest is up to us!
    Rule 1: Treat every firearm as loaded
    Rule 2: Always point firearms in a safe direction
    Rule 3: Load a firearm only when ready to fire
    Rule 4: Identify your target beyond all doubt
    Rule 5: Check your firing zone
    Rule 6: Store firearms and ammunition safely
    Rule 7: Avoid alcohol and drugs when handling firearms
