It’s Back! Let’s call this the TBP. It’s the same with some improvements, mostly in the lever carrier, finger pieces and bottom cover plate.The station base is now made of solid stainless steel.
This is the fourth version of this key. It’s a great addition to the go bag and with the station base it’s very much at home in the shack as well. You’ll love the action and the look of this very unique Torsion Bar key. It excels as a cootie or paddle. It’s like getting two keys for the price of one!
For portable use, you simply unscrew the station base and the cover plate stored in the bottom of the station base, remove the feet and use them to attach the cover plate to the bottom of the key. That protects the wiring and also allows you to keep the key stable while sending. This key is VERY stable on the desk without taking up a lot of room. The following is a quote from Richard-W4RQ. This key uses the same action as the “Fat Boy”.

It features a patent pending design that brings a whole new way of sending CW using my unique torsion/lever system.
The key base is milled out of a solid block of Aluminum. The control lever “carrier” is brass and the finger pieces are made of rare woods with my signature Mother-Of-Pearl dot on each side. Station base is stainless steel and the lever carrier, lever and posts are brushed/polished brass. Adjustment screws are custom made and are 10-32 fine thread Brass. The contact strip is nickel silver and provides a quieting mechanism that makes the key virtually silent while in use.
Here’s a video of the key in action:
