CK armourslice

[Andy78]

As the title.... I'm thinking of getting one of these for a job coming up with around 100 small SWA ends to make off. What's everyone's experience of these ? do they do a good job and speed things up ? are there any better products out there for the same job ?

Cheers in advance

EDIT: I'm not being rude not replying. I'm off t' pub in a bit though.

I got one a few weeks back from Eddies, really cheap in there opposed to other places. I've not had chance to use it yet.

bought one at elex. does the job. secret is not to clamp it up too tight or it rags the armour strands. a few practice cuts on some scrap helps. it even has an arrow to tell you which way to rotate. would not be without mine. no strands left uncut as you often get using hacksaw.

hmm i think i will invest, ive heard nothing but good reviews for these, local wholesaler quoted me £16.50 all in for one

 

[telectrix]

that's cheap. are you sure it's a CK armourslice? normal price is £30 odd + VAT.

 

[vernam616]

Yes its a CK armourslice, i had various quotes of £30 odd, i think the manager is doing it at cost price for me

 

[telectrix]

that's below cost. mine was £30 inc. VAT direct from CK. but worth every penny.

 

[vernam616]

I dont know then haha, i did ask him to double check and he said it was definatly £16.50

bite his hand off. buy 20 and sell 19 on at a profit.

 

[vernam616]

Im going to check eBay now you have said that, thats not a bad idea!

 

[vernam616]

Ill wipe his stock out tommorow, cheapest on ebay is £28.45
