Cable rods

fred funk }{

I'm looking for a good, high quality set of rods. The set i have at the moment aren't great and I've broken two of the rods over the last few jobs so I'm going to invest in something decent. Any ideas?

I had an expensive set one time and ended up breaking them as the cheaper sets do, hafele is a good brand liked by alot of contractors i know.

but the last time they were in aldi or lidl for 4.99 i bought five sets

I've lost all confidence in Draper since one of their angle grinders set fire in my hands. The thing was still running at 6000RPM with flames coming out the rotor vents.

How much did you pay for them?

I have a set of the super rods with all the attachments which I rarely use.
I use the draper rods all the time. The white fiber glass ones aren't great either, they break too easily and give off a lot of splinters

Well they must be good so, if a fire couldnt stop it.

Second use too. Opened it up to see what I could salvage and the brushes were about 4mm long :rolleyes:.
You get what you pay for I suppose.
