I have desperately been needing a pen plater. I had previously purchase one of the disposible ones to try, and found it very lacking in effectiveness. So I finally pony-ed up the $115 to buy the Samson Economy plater from one of our favorite suppliers. I got the plater today and upon inspection noticed that all it is, is a “2 amp regulated dc power supply”. Guess what a google search of that term brings up….

Nice, huh! Now Im going to opt and get the nice pen and clamp as replacement parts from that very same supplier, but Im sure you could fashion them yourselves. Even with buying the nice attachments Im coming in about 50$ cheaper.
It still blows my mind when I think about companies putting a sticker on another companies product, doubling the price, and calling it there own. Go get your new pen plater now, hell, get 2, at $23 how can you go wrong.

A custom job that you think will be quite easy can turn into a monster that you never expected. A miscommunication to the caster, and your one earring short for the set. Some 18kt accents that you were sure you had the metal for, but didn’t. An overzelous chasing hammer that neglects to remember just how brittle Topaz is. Not to mention combine that with some crazy treated “Mystic Topaz” stones that the customer brought in, (where the hell do those come from). Well, luckily from a dealer about 15 minutes drive from here, but that was luck. So, only 3 weeks late on the finished job…! What! Thats right, you can’t be 3 weeks late on a job, thats bad business, plan better and don’t EVER let that happen!
