Not rare or hard to get hold of. Look in the mid school section. They seem to pop up fairly regularly in there.

There's less of them than you'd think - specially with the original decals. You can get sh1tty early 2000's Taiwanese made copies every now and again on eBay, but they're not full chromo.

I got someone on here a NOS one from Billys a year or so ago - only one they had left over. Pop a wanted ad up - the original Heavy Tools frames come with a serial that has 'HT' in it - also fathom out which model you want (Ruler, Screamer etc). Nice bit of mid-school mid-range history with 'em, being made by Goring (of KHE fame) :)
