Who makes a good 1” by 16” bar that will take a 1/4” cutter and teardrop cutter?

Trent Bosch makes a 1” straight, 1” bent,
he has a 5/8” bar scraper
They have the ends turned down to fit 3/4” handles of systems
may be too long they are 24” length.

Thanks. I saw those. They look nice but can’t take the teardrop.Trent Bosch makes a 1” straight, 1” bent,

These are the two I have, both accept a teardrop.
The Oneway can be used with or without the link.

How do you like the Oneway?
It's not as user friendly as Lyles. I have to admit, I miss measured the shank of the Oneway, I measured across the flats, real measurement is 5/8" (or metric equivalent).
With a large teardrop, 8" is pushing it. there seems to be flex at the shank juncture. The smaller the teardrop, the less resistance and you can go a little deeper, but not much.

If you have a buddy with a vertical metal milling machine, the bar is incredibly easy to make.
