Looking for a magnet exchanger

August 5th, 2011, 6:52

Hi all

Looking to buy a magnet exchanger for 3.5"

I have salvations' HPE Pro (which includes an exchanger) but somehow i managed to lose it.

Anyone willing to sell their one, spare one?

Cheers.

Still looking for this.

CPRTools requires a $120 for shipping which is insane (I think). I asked them if there is an option they could send it to us with normal registered air-mail instead (to save shipping cost), and they didn't even reply.

If anyone has a spare one, let me know plz.

Thanks.

Their video advert is hilarious! That American accent is straight out of a 'sign up for the army' commercial.

Do you really feel the need for it? With the right set of quality pliers in your toolset I can't see a requirement for that type of product.

Get some nice quality, thin nose with serrations so they grip well :) I've got about 5 different types in my toolset, there's always one right for the job.

Hi Nick.

Can you suggest a toolset i could look at?

Perhaps the reason i insist on the exchanger is because my pliers weren't the right ones after all.

I didn't buy a 'set' so to speak, I bought them individually as I found them. Hardware shops and hobby shops are good places to find them if you look around. The thin needle-nose ones with serrations and a flat end I use the most. Also have some slightly larger ones with a very thin, flat serrated end that are great to use on 3.5" magnets. Come to think about it I probably have about 10 altogether, have stopped collecting now that I've found the ones right for the job.

Try these http://www.machinemart.co.uk/shop/product/details/facom-420-e-gripping-pliers These are really well made and excellent to use, not only thin nosed but flat as well, gets right underneath and the large handles give lots of control. :D
