I just recived my new Lindsay palm graver. I have owned the classic version for about three years now and have been quite satisfied with it. Due to an ankle injury, I have been having some endurance issues with using a footpedal for some time now and the prospect of "palm control" has been enticing.
As I become more familiar with this tool, I am amazed by the overwhelming feeling of freedom that comes from eliminating the footpedal (and the accompanying physical and mental distraction that goes with it). This is much more than just relief from ankle pain; this is about a more fluid and relaxed channeling of the engraver to the engraving (from the artist to the art).
I most likely will never go back to a footpedal device again.
I cannot thank Steve Lindsay enough for this intuitive contribution to my personal workspace. I am quite sure it will prove to be the most treasured tool in my arsenal.
