Are these still available? I just get directed to a printable order form, but seems dated. Worth it? Thank you guys for the input.

Paco is an old man now. Hopefully you can get one.....and it is VERY worth it.

I tried contacting Paco a couple years ago about that tool with no success. But dont let that steer you from trying. A lot of people really like them. I ended up making my own and a couple different form punches. I only tried it in one SS and I didnt see any improvement. Then again I dont have too many complaints with the ammo I use now. Your experience may be different.

I have one,, and use it to improve the accuracy of .22 bullets in my later Ruger Single-Sixes. Well worth it in my book.

Hey Tink..? If the grip/stock making doesn't keep you too busy...

I’ve found two other similar tools: a D-rock die system and a Waltz die. I believe both require a reloading press and both seem as hard to obtain as the Paco Kelly tool.
I’m going to send a letter to Mr. Kelly, but I don’t hold much hopes of buying one through him. If anyone has a spare and wants to sell it, let me know - I’d love to get one.

I'm content using his old "nasty nose" tool. Works for me. I do use a handloading arbor press rather than hammering on it. I can adjust the amount of pressure I use by adjusting when the ram cams over. Sure produces a loud "smack" when it hits flesh.

Check out the “Lil’ Gizzy” tool. Very easy to use.

None of these seem to be sold in any “conventional” way. The occasional downside of niche products for a niche community.
