Vinyl Hot Weld Kit

Can anybody please recommend the best vinyl hot welder?

I've looked around online and seen a few Leister starter kits for around £400-£450 which look pretty good and include a few hand tools (router, p-groover, moon knife etc)

Ideally I would prefer the 230/240v rather than needing a transformer, but I remember when I was at FloorSkills doing the cap and cove course Matt saying the older models are more user friendly and the newer digital ones can be a pain!

I cant see any for sale on TradeDiscountShop but that's not to say they aren't there!

Any help greatly appreciated.

Leister are far and away the best. Don`t bother with anything else.

 

Steinel are great and the hawk welding kit is really good value. Fully adjustable temp and air flow. The wolf welder is a Steinel one.

 

I can certainly put a kit on www.tradediscountshop

 

got mine on ebay chap was retiring only paid £70 for a full kit.

 

Yep defo leister welder and try and get older type as matt says they are more user friendly

 

Yea cheers I'll be keeping an eye on eBay I reckon for the older style one, they seem to go for a decent price 2nd hand. Just got to hope its got a bit of life left in it!

 

if not mario can mend it

 

Can anyone help me? I've had the triac pt (think it's this one it's digital) for about 4 years brand new. I was on site the other month and a daft sparky managed to yank it out of my hand and broke the motor. I went to the only place in Hull that's deals with them and he quoted £180 plus vat and fiting it obviously I think he's taking the p**s abit so just wondering if anyone could point me in the right direction?

 

Did you leave it with him to check over?

 

Yeah he rang me back after about 2 weeks with the quote so obviously I just picked it up just to try and find it cheaper to fix.

 

Do you have the quote with parts needed?

 

I haven't no that's why is thought it was a bit steep and talking to the guy a few days previous he did say they hadn't had a lot in. Like I said though there is no one else around who deals with flooring tools and kit so I'm stuck really. Do you know if leister repair stuff themselves?

 

Not sure mate,
You can send it to me and I'll have a look for you?

 

Yeah if that's alright do I go on your website and get the address off there or do you want to DM me?
