Time for a new R2 lead

[Midwest]

It’s very flexible, bit like me.

Just bought what looks like a Martindale R2 lead off e-bay for a remarkable £15.00 + £5.00 postage, sound too good to be true, will see soon I hope.

I have the Kewtech too. Must've had it 10 years and used it a couple of times a week. It's still like new.

Would recommend.

As I said above I have pushed the button on a second hand R2 Wander lead that looks like a Martindale, same embossed writing on the case and what looks like the same cable ends, I will have to wait until it arrives to verify whether it is a Martindale, but at £20.00 with postage not a lot to loose.

On the contrary, there is hopefully around 50m of it to loose. Just don't lose it!

looking at a lot of the branded ones, the actual plastic body is in many cases identical so i suspect they are made in some factgory and just badged accordingly. that said i have a kewtech one, 50m and does alright.
If you have the time and patience, get yourself a cable reel and make your own

then some cable and get the adaptors for the cable at each end off flea bay and you are good to go. will have change out of £40 i reckon.

cpc do an empty reel. easy to add 50m of silicon single and 4mm plug/socket.

Silicone cable in 4mm at 50M would cost about £100.00 unless you can find something at a better price, then I will try not to looooose it.

That's the problem with being a touch typist, linger tooooooo loooong on a key and it repeeeeeats itseeelf.

Well it's arrived and it is a Martindale, just carried out a continuity and insulation test on it and it check's out, very pleased for £20.00 bargaaaaaaaain
