Hi all,

Title says it all really, I'm looking to buy a set of cable rods and looking for recommendations from those more familiar with them. I was looking at something like the below but TBH not sure what the difference is:

Super Rod Cable Rod Deluxe Set - https://www.screwfix.com/p/super-rod-cable-rod-deluxe-set/33980

Or

Super Rod Cable Rod Set 6Pcs - https://www.screwfix.com/p/super-rod-cable-rod-set-6pcs/81513

Main reason I need them now is to go across a ceiling void but happy to spend a bit more for future investment.

Let me know what you guys recomenend and that would be much appreciated.

Thanks in advance,

Martin.
 
The armeg set are a good alternative as they are half the price of the super rods.
I have yet to snap one and they don’t leave fibreglass splinters in your hands like the cheap blue sets!
 
well i ave the cheap and cheerful set and make do with them for one reason only ! the wife treated me to an expensive set long time ago now stuck them in the boot of the car a few days later and as i slammed the boot closed they slipped and a 10 piece set quickly became a 20 piece set ! was totally gutted but could have been worse could have been my fingers lol
 
My best advice - buy a cheap set of 1m rods!

Regardless of how much you pay for your rods, they will all wear-out and/or snap eventually. This set is under £10 and has worked fantastically, I've actually bought two sets myself!

Also, 1m rods are the best length, they are easy to carry around but long enough to work well, and when your college asks "I can see it, how far have you pushed it?" you can easily count the number of rods connected to give an answer in meters... simple.
