I'm looking for a brush radius tool that had a red handle and a little gold collar that you slide the brushes into and hold them while you turn the handle to radius them. Not sure of the make. Maybe Lucky Bob's.

I suspect that what you're looking for is a tool that you saw that someone added an old allen handle to. I want to say Doug at PJR has one like you describe.

 

What I'm saying is it is probably something like the Dubick, https://e-slotcar.co...ing-tool-de201/, but someone has rigged it on an old allen wrench handle.

 

I just know the ones I have are not like that at all, they're more like Magnehone style that doesn't go into anything plus a brush tool that's a big chunk of aluminum to hold the brushes.

 

Maybe this is useful info, maybe not.

Check Ron Hershman at Fast Ones... we made something like that 'decades' ago for him.

I’ve got two of those things kicking around here, but I can’t lay my hands on either one. I’ll keep looking

I have one of those as well.

 

Pretty sure that was an Ultimate product offered by Crawley Distributing ... and probably others.

That last tool looks like a Magnehone brush radius tool with a couple Cahoza 2mm axle grips (also used with their brush hone) attached. The other tool pictured looks like a Magnehone with a different handle attached.
