hibsjo(SCO) Posted January 11, 2006 Report Share Posted January 11, 2006 Looking for Fussels Combinettes in all sizes. Rubber 1/4 irons not those pvc ones. Deelite micro all sizes and colours. Birch dont stock and say you cant get anymore. Find this very hard to comprehend, combinettes must be one of the best movers on the market. Cheers in anticipation Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kobblers Posted January 11, 2006 Report Share Posted January 11, 2006 who'da believed it? ny trusty supplier who i always get combinettes off has informed me that charles birch is correct. combinettes aren't made anymore and the deelite micro has been replaced by euro micro. we actually use the new stuff and we really like it, it isn't that much different. i actually phoned him up to see if he would post you some combinettes as we had some off him recently. ah well, to the crappy pvc ones we head.

kobblers Posted January 11, 2006 Report Share Posted January 11, 2006 if i can get enough people to send me their names and addresses to form a pseudo petition then i'll quite happily contact fussells and find out why such a popular product has been discontinued. don't just sit there bemoaning the loss of 'em, write me!!!!! that's what the forums for and we may be able to use an opportunity like this to see how big a voice we have. rick.

'Onest Andy Posted January 13, 2006 Report Share Posted January 13, 2006 As I understand it. The reason we have lost our supply of Deelite Micro and Combinettes is due to a fire in the factory. Apparently they were in the process of moving to new premises but the old place caught fire taking all the production equiptment with it. I have heard that deelite will be comming back... not sure about the Combinettes.. Have to admit I think they are the only decent 1/4 steel heel in production that i'm aware of, we definately need them back again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tommy Posted February 18, 2006 Report Share Posted February 18, 2006 From what I understand from my birch's rep, you can buy the 1/4 steel seperate but they work out more expensive than the whole lot. I wanted some to make my own leather 1/4 steel and was told it will be cheaper to rip them off the ready made ones I have in stock Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
