Thanks, vealmike,

I will certainly look into that option. I always thought because of the temperature and pressure of injection moulding, the tool had to be toughened steel. 
A softer material might be OK for a smaller run but I will certainly ask the guy who made our tool and the moulder.

I will ask the dear wife to phone around colleges.

Cheers Carole, keeping my fingers crossed for a good response. I reckon this could be a good product for beaches and soft soils.

Rob,
Our Mechanical engineer is on holiday at the moment, so I can't ask "he who knows".

But I think that I'm right in saying that's the difference between hard and soft tooling. Soft tooling as you say will be good for a limited production run, after which tolerances start to creep.

For something like a tent peg cover I'd be inclined to try to design in some allowance for the tolerance creep and squeeze a bit more life out of the soft tool.

HTH

Cheers, Mike, looking forward to any info you can offer.

I think that the only part of the mould that could cause a problem is the piece that would create the cavity for the peg to slip into. If this was machined absolutely square then even a slight rounding of the corners would not create a problem for a while. The actual flat surface of the insert would take a long time to wear away.

I like the sound of this.
