Found this and was wondering if anyone has seen this before and if it could be interesting to anyone. I saw some other head change tools that people said were made of plastic and this one does not seem that way. Might want to take a look at it. Just for interest that is all.

As for me it's absolutely useless tool with incredible high price for piece of metal. That guy have not developed something new, something own. Just stole technology from manufacturer and copied. I could by this tool for a 150-200EUR. But I'm not idiot to spend more money... :D

I think the problem with creating commercial tools for head replacement is that they need to be ready for purchase, and fully tested, before in house solutions are found.

I have solutions for head replacment for most drives, so commercial solutions are not something I would benefit from.

OK, You have Your oppinion, lot of peopple say that they are not stupid to waste money on data recovery, so someone will have 2 cliks and take 1000e for them.
We made this tool for us, because we work in datarecovery, and we wanted to eliminate risky procedures.
I.E. working with papper etc... I would not like that cutomers know that we use in our clean room, yesterdays papper to put between heads etc etc...
Ok so we made it for us, and it was inspired but factory tools.. I tought that is benefit or NO?
I would like to buy all those tools, so all my tech can change heads. up I frogot they do not want to sell, shit.
So I had to make them. And guess what they work. Now I can take heads of when motor is dead, when it is not dead, I can use one site code heads on 10 recoveries with no worries did contact with platters damaged them.
This is ultimate tool, and development costed a lot and took a lot of money.
We are making a few more tools now for our offices and tehnitians because we want to make standard and procedures how are things done. If this is not enought i do not know what is.
We will have first indipendet rewies so You will know.
Nikola

btw it is DURAL not plain metal, and as I heard seagate charges more then 1500 USD for tool that only BIG datarecovery companies can buy.

It took us 18 months to come to this, belive me we have a lot of wasted clones....
Last time Rchadwick was saying he can make it for 50% You baned him i think....
One more time, Who can make me tool that will alow me to take heads off from 7200.11
while heads will be lifted in their parking position, moved withouth contact all the whey to the end of the drive,
and that will alow me to put them in the not working hard drive, whit same terms, I will pay 500Euro.
Offer stands until we make our own tool.
Nikola

It looks like a really nice tool but i think it should be sold as a pair. Shame about the music on the video, I would have went for a bit of guns n roses. ALso the workbench you are using, did you mkae that or is it from salvation data?
