00:00Hello, I'm Stephen Hine. I'm from Montero, north of Adelaide in the beautiful Clear Valley.
00:06We're on a farm here, but believe it or not, we don't run any sheep, but I used to be
00:10a shearer.
00:11I've come up with a few inventions, and the latest one that I've got here is a titanium handpiece,
00:16which I'm going to now demonstrate with an electric drill, because we actually don't have a shearing shed.
00:21So now I'll run it. There we go. That's running. No worries.
00:26Not a lot of vibration there. And now I've flipped it off.
00:31It also has the wireless control technology on there, which we invented, well, which I rather invented about nine years
00:38ago,
00:38had about five years of trialing, three and a half years of getting it certified by the Federal Government for
00:43safety certification,
00:44now all ready to go. So we also have that on a Heinecker handpiece.
00:49So the handpiece itself is very light, weighs at least 400 grams lighter than any other handpiece on the market
00:57at the moment.
00:58So it does not conduct heat very well either. So less blisters on the hands for the shearers,
01:05especially for the ladies when they're starting up, and also less weight to swing around as well.
01:10It will hopefully stay cool. So it's also very strong.
01:15Titanium has about twice the strength of steel, comparing apples with apples.
01:19And it should be a good go, I hope. So we're trying very much to help the shearing industry with
01:25my inventions.
01:26And this is number 10 out of a long list, but this is probably a top of the range, I
01:32think, that I've invented.
01:33And hopefully, yeah, it all goes well.
