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.

Thanks!

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.

I have both CPR magnets, PM me

thanks

You're absolutely right. But i was kinda used in working with that tool, so i feel more comfy using it.

PM'd. Ta.

Anyone?

I hate pliers

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.

Thanks for the suggestion. I have ordered these
