    I saw them. It was the same size as my cheapo Everlast. Now very solid and a quick clean build

      I was wondering where to get an Arcswivel I have read about here.

          I am not selling the Arc any more. Never say never, but it has been months since I made any.

            That drum looks super solid, I’d like to hear what it sounds like if you get the time. Are the wall mounts mounted in 2x4 wall studs?
            Yes it lined up on 16" centers. Very solid.

                  The Powermill and Deville both disappeared and now the Arc is out of production

                    Yep. Definitely one of those Get 'em while they're hot! situations.

                      I use the forza ball swivel too. The brass ball leaves some gunk from wear over time so I clean it with wd-40. It seems to keep it moving free and faster.

                          Haven't used one of the forza's for over a year now but one of mine is faulty. The ball doesn't flow smoothly and there are no obstructions within the plastic housing inside. lubrication doesn't work - nuttin' works. Thing is a dud. The two others still work like new (I imagine) they're just shiny platform decorations now.

                          The newer Forza ball-hooks actually have a wider hook (where the bag sits) and they also hang 1/8" lower - like the hooks weren't already too wide or too low.

                          EDIT: The Ringside Heritage bags with their ridiculously thick loops sit perfectly in a forza hook. Nice and snug.

                            I probably should have posted an announcement thread or something about this, but I just don't feel like it, and there has been very little interest in the Arc lately.

                            But we had a good run there for a while. I sent out over 200 swivels! That is still hard for me to believe. Each one took a lot of work. A lot of time.

                              I would have liked to be a member of the forum when the Powermill and the deville were available. At least I have 2 Arc swivels and i love them.

                                You made a lot of bagger happy with your Arc swivels (myself included). Thank you very much!
