[QUOTE="SidecarFlip, post: 1156868, member: 39764"] I always fine it interesting that Giraud applies for patents on all his offerings, even though there are so many close copies.... My take on a patent (I happen to hold 2 on items not related to this venue is): A patent is only worth the paper it's written on. The true value of any tool is how many copies the competition can sell. Patents are all about making attorney's rich. Competition always breeds innovation. I'm a student of that philosophy. Just because I own a shop don't mean I'd build rifles (I don't and don't want to). Never interested me and there are too many qualified shops . smiths close by anyway. Besides, I already have too many...lol Any tool that depends on manual dexterity to achieve an end result will also have a tolerance variance dependent on the input of force applied, reloading presses included. Interesting how the Giraud and the WFT almost look the same and operate on the same principles, just like the Annealeze and the Giraud annealer. Again, the Girausd is more expensive in both cases and I already possess a WFT. You'll like the Harrell. It's a fine example of American craftsmanship with a price point to go along with it. Like the Omega. Not cheap but a great example of American innovation. [/QUOTE]
