My new toy and what a blessing it is, it has been something I've wanted for some time and I was lucky enough to be given it, makes splicing easy and does a nice job,so today I've re spliced many reels of 16mm trailers,Mark

I wouldnt without one now mate. They are so easy to use and the splices are perfect every time. I did nuy a new blade for mine,sadly the supplier has ceased trading.they did all the sparrs for them.

Does the business every time,but does need to be kept clean.The splicing teeth can get clogged also the perforation holes if the tape residue gets left but otherwise they go on for years.
Very kind of someone to give you one Mark they don’t come cheap .
Very nice.

Thanks Tom and Gwyn, I'm over the moon with it ,I was just using Splicing tape with an old cement splicer and making the holes previously so this is a joy, all I had to do was make a centre fixing for the tape and it's fully functional once again, more tape on order so no stopping me now, Mark

That is a really nice item to be given.

Mark,

I am a big believer in these splicers as well. I started off with a Kodak Press-Tape splicer which cuts across the middle of the frame! That makes no sense! It also uses small pre-cut tape snippets rather than a tape roll. The Kodak Press-Tape Splicer is fiddly and cumbersome. But when starting out sometimes you don't know better. I agree, once you try one of these splicers, you won't go back to the old way of doing things.
