Blade testers required

:lol:

 

i got some janser green box hookies, from Rugrat and they are good blades, i can,t wait to try Rugrat,s samplers.

 

There next on my list, goin to order box an few bits off Rugrat.

 

If you had ordered off him before he would have sent you a free blade lol,my missus says she will pass me a free blade with "PLEASURE",bye bye everyone.

 

Rugrat is so quick with his deliveries they arrive the day before you order!

 

Sent you my last 4 in post today.
Thank you for trying them out.

Ta mate, will see what I like, goin to get sone blades couple of knives an some more bits

 

Got them, will wait till I do LVT to test them.

 

Thank you Matt we do need to know how they perform across a range of products.

 

Ive had a go with the tungston blade and the blade with the gold edge on a spacia job today. I personelly think the tungston blade was pretty good it lasted longer than the other. Had a go cutting down a woven backed carpet with the german blades and they are good, bit smaller than the blades im use to but v good. fitting some felt back tomorrow so I will have another go with the german blade on that. I like the Tungston blade because its real heavy duty, I didnt even try the German blade on the spacia, didnt think it looked up to it?

 

Yes mate, doin a carpet tile job next week so use half blades on that.

 

I used them all for a bit on carpet work today, they all seemed good to be honest, but i haven,t used them for any length of time, but will be soon.

 

German blade was good on the felt back today, cut half a roll up with it and fitted 2 rooms before I changed it. To be fair the super hooks were good on the felt back today, maybe they just didnt like the ege carpet I was fitting with them last week :?

 

i used the gold edge one all day on cormar and victoria carpets , no problems. I will try another tomorrow.

 

I used half on knight tile, cut the lot about 50 cuts an was still ok, not tough that though. But will carry on with blades tomorrow.

 

Can we start giving our assesments of these blades please.
regards Rugrat

 

Will do mine by Friday pal, used one half of 3 blades so far, got carpet tiles an amtico this week.

 

I personelly think the smaller blade was the best for carpet(I think its German?) I cut in two joins with it today so its still going. Its thinner than im use to so not sure I would use it for lvt or say tucking into door plates.

The Tungston blade was very heavy duty and cut through spacia very well, I like this blade as I would use it for all types of flooring. Am I right in thinking this is the one with the edge thats a different angle or is that just my one? :?

The blade with the coloured edge cut through the spacia better than a normal straight blade but seemed to blunt quickly, a concave is still better, spacia is quite tough tho, maybe its something the PRC put in it? Sorry I didnt use this on any carpet I blunted both sides so quickly on the spacia, it could be really good. I stopped buying expensive straight blades as I find they take a battering on the prep(or is that just me)

I didnt find anything special about the sheffield made blade, cut in some carpet with it, just seemed like a normal stanley blade

 

I think the small blade with holes is the best , but i didn,t get on with it in my dolphin 2000, it was fine in the standard dolphin. My preference in numerical order is 1 SMALL BLADE WITH HOLES, 2 BLADE WITH GOLD EDGE(ALTHOUGH NOT A LOT BETWEEN THE FIRST TWO), 3 TUNGSTEN, 4 SHEFFIELD BLADE. I hope thats helpful to you Rugrat , and thanks for letting me try them.
