3, 2, 1, Pneumatic Launch!

The Piston can compress air so effectively that you can launch it from the chamber with a satisfying pop. You'll be a veritable astronaut in no time.

Experiment With Aerodynamic Bearings

Spinning the housing allows a thin cushion of air to form between the Piston pin and the cylinder block, creating a friction free spin that's momentarily suspended in air. That's pretty neat.

Built Beyond Lifetimes

We do things differently, making tools with the mind-set that they must last beyond a single lifetime. We bring old tool patents to back life and breathe modernity and accessibility into machining not seen outside of high-performance engineering.

Obsessive Over-Engineering

We love to over-engineer the simple things and bring large and otherwise unobtainable things into the miniature world - creating precision instruments that deliver industrial-grade performance in handheld form.

Limited Pre-order Now Open!

After a huge launch, the popularity of the Piston blew us out of the water. Sold out for months in advance, the Piston is available on pre-order so you too can experience the pneumatic fun of the MetMo Piston. It makes a great gift too; just ask the hundreds of other Piston dabblers who came before you.
