Richard,
You say you saw it in the Tam magazine,if you have that issue, can you post a pic? or tell us what issues of the Tam mags so
that it can be look up and possibly offer some help to you in
locating the tool.
Cheers,
Joe

No I do not retain my mags after I've read them over twice. But it was profiled in the Feb. issue. Then the next month March, it was again mentioned in coverage of the Toy Fair in Nuremberg, at the Trumpeter kiosk distributed by pocketbond.co.uk. At there site there is no mention at all of this item. Master Tools Pillar Drill, clearly market as such and made in Blue, black and green engineered polymers and steel. I now think I may be hunting a prototype not yet for sale!!

Yes sir, that's the one. I'm not sure it's ready for the U.S.A. yet, but I will inquire with that shop in Holland. Thank you very much.
