Latest Updates from Our Project:

Rewards are shipping now!

Rewards are on their way!

The B.A.T. SCARABS coming from the factory were stuck in US Customs for almost 2 weeks (yikes!) but were delivered to us on Friday.  All rewards were packed over the weekend and will be dropped off at the post office tomorrow.  The US Postal service in Philadelphia where we are based is backed up for weeks from the holiday season, so we're taking all packages to a nearby state to ensure they are processed faster.

You will receive an email from BackerKit with your tracking info soon.

What's Next?

  • Our online store www.CovertProductsGroup.com has B.A.T. SCARABs in stock along with over a dozen other tools and cool items with more creations added every month.
  • For social media we're most active on Instagram - @CovertProductsGroup 
  • We're currently prototyping our next Kickstarter project, the B.A.T. TRI-TOOL.  If the schedule holds, we'll be launching it in the beginning of March and will post an update to let you all know!

Any questions?  Message us through Kickstarter or email direct to covertproductsgroup [at] gmail

Thank you for making the B.A.T. SCARAB become a reality!

Locking down orders, shipping starts in a few weeks
over 3 years ago – Tue, Dec 22, 2020 at 03:47:34 PM

Hi Everyone - thank you again for your support of this project!  Please read through this or at least skip to the bottom for a sneak peek at our next project....


SHIPPING ESTIMATE

The factory has the B.A.T. SCARABs boxed up and they will be shipped to me this week, which means they'll arrive next week, which means they'll be sent to you the following week (if the shipping elves cooperate with holiday delays).  January 15th (give or take) is when US backers should begin to receive their rewards, add another 1-2 weeks for locations outside the US.  If that changes in any way we will post another update.


SURVEYS

85% of backers filled out their survey already.  If you did not, or are not sure, click here now: https://batscarab.backerkit.com/   It is the ONLY way for us to have your address info to send your reward.


ADDRESS AND EXTRAS LOCKDOWN

Tomorrow (December 23rd... in about 24 hours) we will lock down address changes and add-on purchases, then BackerKit will charge your card for any extras you included on your order when you filled out the survey.  If you have any edits to make, now is the time.  www.BackerKit.com

SNEAK PEEK

Our next Kickstarter will be the B.A.T. TRI-TOOL (unless we come up with a better name for it).  The design brief was, "An archaeologist digs up a small tool from a 15,000 year old site hours before Men in Black show up to confiscate it."  Yes, ALIENS.  This is a 3D printed metal prototype with some changes planned for the final version.  Aiming for a February project launch.

Happy holidays!

Ready for Surveys!
over 3 years ago – Tue, Nov 24, 2020 at 06:56:33 PM

Production of the B•A•T SCARAB is progressing on-schedule, so we're sending out surveys in the next 24 hours through BackerKit.

Please fill it out when you get it so we can start planning what we need for add-ons, packaging, etc.  It should take 1-2 minutes to answer.  We will lock down the surveys in a few weeks (mid-December) so you'll have time to edit later if you need to change your address.  We'll give you a heads-up before locking things down.


With the success of the SCARAB we were inspired to design a new product from scratch for a follow up.  Prototyping has already begun, and we are estimating a February project launch.  If things move smoothly with the development we'll share a sneak peek in an upcoming update.

Thank you for your support, and stay safe out there!

Final Four Days
over 3 years ago – Sun, Nov 08, 2020 at 02:38:08 PM

Thank you again to everyone for supporting us in creating the BAT SCARAB!


We are currently over 4x our initial goal, and it’s all because of YOU. To make sure we hit our dates we already started production with the factory, and the process is going well. We did not want to wait for the campaign to end before moving forward, and this will ensure we meet (or beat) our promised dates. So far, so good!

We’re down to the final 4 days of the campaign, so if you know one person who might be interested in our project please drop them a note and let them know.


We will also have some cool add-ons available during the survey process after the campaign ends. Next communication will be after the campaign is complete so we can collect your survey info.

You made it happen!

A big thank you for backing the B.A.T. SCARAB on Kickstarter!  We hit the goal in something like 12 hours and are close to 2x the goal right now.  I'm so appreciative that you believed our latest idea was worth backing.

We checked in with the factory and everything is on track for production and on-time delivery.

We won't clog up your inbox with too many updates but will keep you in the loop on project status.

As always, helping to spread the word about our project is much appreciated.  Thank you for your support!
