Guys you should try the Mitts 500 in my opinion you can push them harder at 1.4a you can manage 1.1-1.2w and you don't need an expensive driver just use an AMC 1735,
I have 2 going strong over a year now!

Nice job for not having any tools, it's very hard to work with metal unless you have the right tools for it obviously. Got any shots of it working or maybe beam shots?

I don't have very good cameras so I don't know about beam shots but I can upload some shots, after work, of the dot/ square that it produces :crackup:

There prety much both the same!
