My helper lost the pipe driver, now I sit at desk and check every survey supply company's site, but to no avail.
Does anyone know where to buy those drivers for the 3/4" I.P.?

Re: Where to buy 3/4" I.P. driver?
I got mine at Lo-Ink, but they apparently no longer carry them. If you're unable to find a real one, a reasonable substitute is a 3/4" bolt. You might have to file the diameter down just a bit; you don't want too snug a fit or your map will say "SET 3/4" IP WITH 3/4" BOLT IN TOP."

I had a machinist make mine "stainless steel" custom 2". I had acetal inserts made, for 3/4", 1", 1 1/2".

By the way, we drove back to the scene of crime, searched with the metal detector and found the precious driver!

A short-handled hammer, swung with one (single) hand. A long-handled hammer (swung with two hands) is colloquially known as a double jack.What's a single jack?

Now I get it, the whole time I was trying to imagine a combination of the single jack with an oversized pipe cap, connected to each other.Jim Frame wrote:A short-handled hammer, swung with one (single) hand.

Been doing this for nearly 54 years and today learned the meaning of a term I had heard for years without knowing what it was.
