Oho, what have we here?

Had a nice box waiting for me upon my return from a trip to Germany.

I have love/hate feelings toward packing peanuts. On the one hand they stick to everything and suck to dispose of, but on the other hand digging through them to find all the stuff in the box feels like a treasure hunt.

Found all the smaller bits.

Now for the main part.

The Mini-Z from Ferree’s Tools Inc.

*Happy screech*

All the accessories that the “starter package” includes. Got tapered mandrels for trombone, trumpet, cornet; one tapered roller; three curved rollers covering five different radii; 3″ and 4″ Power Discs; and one burnishing wheel. Haven’t taken them out of the bags yet because several of them are coated with oil and I’m delaying having to clean it off because it’s slimy and gross (but smells kinda nice).

I really appreciate the built-in magnets to hold the hex keys used for attaching/removing the accessories. I would have glued some on if they didn’t already exist.

The Mini-Z is, as the name implies, a mini version of Ferree’s popular Z60 dent machine. I don’t have room for the floor-mounted, full-sized setup in my workshop, but the Mini-Z clamps into a bench vise and can just hang on a wall or chill on a shelf when I’m not using it.

Also got the new cable for my P50, so that was nice too.
