I have the CTI DAT tool (is saying tool redundant after the T? I guess I should ask the redundant department of redundancy department) with the AT adapter. I've only used it on AT reloads, as I've only gotten the Pro 38 cases recently and haven't had a chance to fly any yet. Almost every time I used it, I had early deployments. I had a conversation with a fellow TRF'er tonight and found out something interesting. The Pro 38 set I bought came with a DAT. Interestingly, the DAT had on the side a label that roughly read "prototype, for testing purposes only". So naturally, I had to get out my tool and compare them. Oddly, the prototype was shorter than the production one I originally had. The prototype was 29/32" total exposed drill length, while my production one was 1 1/32" long. An 1/8" longer, yes? So a PM is sent to Jeroen to see which one is correct, but as I said earlier, I was talking to a fellow TRF'er, who also had 2 Pro 38 DAT's in his possession. BOTH of his tools measured under 1". He measured 15/16". His ruler may not have been as accurate as mine tho..... They could have been 29/32", but even still, they were under 1". So........... anyone else want to measure their tool (why did I just giggle?)
