Simes Posted June 2, 2014 Report Share Posted June 2, 2014 I know this may be a long shot, but I don't suppose anyone has a spare ranger they fancy selling? My hands and getting a bit arthritic! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simes Posted June 2, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 2, 2014 When I was with Minit years ago I had a nifty little electric ranger on the bench. It was great! Now I've been quoted £500 to £1,000 inc vat to buy a hand one! Ouch! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simes Posted June 2, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 2, 2014 Anyone using anything like this and are they any good? http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll? ... 1313952414 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smokedog Posted June 2, 2014 Report Share Posted June 2, 2014 I have been tempted by this myself due to my budget, though they seem to be half the price of similar models. Wonder why ? On a side note these are Shultz models which claim to be Hungarian though the members on here advise me they are chinese and a lot of s**te.

elfman Posted June 2, 2014 Report Share Posted June 2, 2014 been using one of tem for years and kobblers has seen the one I have and they are very good mine was £285 from algeos Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
petercoulson Posted June 2, 2014 Report Share Posted June 2, 2014 not the same elfman, the ones that cost a fortune now are the ones that were that price a few years ago. For some reason the manufacturer has priced them ridiculously. From last year to this year they jumped over 100% Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elfman Posted June 2, 2014 Report Share Posted June 2, 2014 woodware repititions had them at the show 2 years ago at more or less the price I paid for mine peter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simes Posted June 2, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 2, 2014 Well I'm not paying the nearly £700 for one. I have this cheaper one on the way. Risk worth taking I've decided. I'll let you know how it goes! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keithm Posted June 3, 2014 Report Share Posted June 3, 2014 Well lets hope they can provide a spare blade and a special spanner to change it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simes Posted June 3, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 3, 2014 I'll let you know! Maybe with the £400 saving I could have one made Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keithm Posted June 4, 2014 Report Share Posted June 4, 2014 Well our price is nowhere near £700 Providing you are talking about a ranger and NOT a 'Welt Roller' ranger? Ours are European made and we supply blades and spanners Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kobblers Posted June 4, 2014 Report Share Posted June 4, 2014 Simes, one of my suppliers is quitting and he's bringing two rangers for me to look at tomorrow. Would you be interested in one if I have the other? Rick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ours are European made and we supply blades and spanners Perhaps you need to speak to someone then, because that's approx what I was quoted inc. Vat (I'm not VAT registered) when I range up. Other price I was quoted was £1000 Tool arrived today. Seems to do the job and has a tool for changing he blade. As for the blades themselves, I'll cross that bridge when I come to it.

Already have done Simes and there is nowhere that lists a price anywhere near that with none of my staff recalling a conversation otherwise, maybe there was some confusion on the item? As for the price of £1000, that would be for a roller ranger Anyway, glad to hear you have it sorted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simes Posted June 9, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 9, 2014 Perhaps I was quoted for a roller ranger. In any case this one was £260 & comes with the correct spanner and looks exactly the same as an 881 hand ranger. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
