Default Re: Rotocompression Pup Remover

They work great. I made some a long time ago using #5 rebar. Mine basically looks like a hand powered drill with the bit end hammered flat. That looks like it does the damage on the way in while mine does the damage on the way out.

In the Caribbean there's always a surplus of pups on a farm and tissue cultures can't compete with the prices. People only buy pups when they are starting so that market is tiny and here pups are $0.30 each in RD they're about a nickel.
