Black Tactical Re-Bar / Polaris

[maxman400]

One of my CERT (Critical Emergency Response Team) members at work ask me the other day if I could do something in a Black Tactical type pen, So this is what I came up with. It is 1/2 inch Re-Bar that I wired brushed and cleaned real good then powder coated black and buffed. It is on a black chrome Polaris, the ends have been turned on the metal lathe at 10 degrees taper to match the bushings. Believe it or not it is not that heavy, it is pretty thin after you punch a 3/8" hole down the middle. :biggrin:
Comments welcome, Thanks for looking.

The say so many talk about drift when they drill, you're to me commended just for getting a hole drilled straight through it! Great looking Pen.

I think that's the nicest looking Rebar pen I've ever seen.

The metal rods that are placed in concrete for strength is what we call re-bar.

Max, That looks like a pen Black-Ops would use. Stealthy, rugged and handsome.
Great job! Doc
