With all the recent problems of waste disposal, recycling, energy saving..... some saleman was round the other day, slating the esab wire we get from another supplier...
"Ah, but our wire is much better... blah blah....The trouble with using the 18kg rolls, is the machines not designed for it, if your using an old tired machine it will kill it very quickly..... and our wire, comes on recyclable plastic reels."
Just took it all in and thought...
The machines we use that wire on are all high end machines, less than 3 years old... and the reels, the esab stuff is on steel wire reels Thats recyclable, plus we get paid to recycle that
They do spout some crap sometimes!!! :full
