Anyone used one? I usually hire but need to buy one for some reason the branded Tyrol machines are now between £300 and £400 on Ebay????? never used to be that much thought they were around £130??

Anyway no way I'm spending that much is this a good alternative?

Thanks
 
Hi

I bought a faithfull flicker thru ebay a few months ago and was impressed with it. Its not the biggest container so takes regular refilling but finished effect came out lovely

When i first clicked the link ealier in this thread the other day it was saying 39 quid ! checked it again and then 390 quid do you reckon the decimal is in the wrong place ? cos that is a lot of dosh for not a lot of tool !
 
Funny enough I bought one a couple of years ago off that seller, dont think I paid more than a ton though.
 
I bought the Faithfull stainless flicker gun for about £30 on Ebay.

Its a bit think but light to carry and a bit small too.

But when I tried it out the screw sockets on each end of the shaft are way out of centre so it turns eccentrically and can only touch the flicker bar for half the turn.

They seem to be standard square nuts just glued in.

I have not traced any other reference to this on the internet but there are no very obvious search terms apart from "complaints".

I was hoping to find a web site for Faithfull but that's not very easy to find yet!

Am I unlucky? Its both ends of the shaft!

Apparently they(Tyrol) have stopped producing them for whatever reason hence the crazy price increase.also the blue faithful one's have popped up and are nowhere near as good as the original.old Tyrol were 100 odd notes.now 400!!!
