Fluxuator: The quick, clean and efficient way to flux pipes

If someone needs something to put solder much quicker onto the tube

 

[JCplumb]

£70 for a 15mm + 22mm one, then £20 a pop for half a tub of flux.
Where do I sign up?

Stick with laco and a brush me thinks

Wonder how long that will survive in the van before the head breaks off.

"Two clicks should be enough" doesn`t inspire confidence either.

I thought the same when I saw the prices
I stick to the old way with the brush and it works all the time.

Definitely well overpriced

I still would need a flux tub sitting beside me to dip the end of the solder wire in, whilst soldering.
Think that is one tool too many.

Without a or anything to indicate humour I thought you were advocating it.

I just came across but wouldn't really spend that much money. Beside that I'd rather invest in my new machine which I am planing to buy.

I just put it up because some people would surely like things like that.

They have developed a solution to a problem that doesn't exist. It even comes with a brush so you can do it the old trusted way when this won't work.
If it was a tenner they might sell a few to plumbers with too much money.
I feel bad for them tbh, they'll lose a lot of money on this.

For every new tool, there is always a tool who will buy one.

That's true Gary.
It's very risky to start doing such a business which doesn't look too safe though

I'll stick with the finger.

My fingers more manageable

Silly boys used a pre-soldered fitting in the ad.

 

[Stigster]

Blimey! How complicated do you need the job of fluxing a pipe to be? Overcomplicating a simple task with a machine when a brush works just fine. I use a small tub of LA-CO with brush in cap which keeps everything clean just fine. I've got a big tub of flux in the van to top the small one up when it gets low.

I'll be disapointed that poundland don't stock it !
( too specialist )

I saw this on Twitter the other week and couldn't get my head around it.

Nothing wrong with my finger, as long as I don't have a cut!

What's wrong with a brush

Nothing I guess. Just always used my finger, Dad was old school and thats what I copied. Other than that the bristles fall out and they cost money, lol.

Wonder if it depends on your favourite flux .

It is indeed powerflow flux. As I say, Dad always used it, and always applied with finger. No need to change something, works for me.

 

[king of pipes]

Nah not for me cant see it catching on just a gimick . kop

 

[oilmark]

Poofy lot on here using a brush!
Finger is best as it keeps em clean?

 

[Dkdc71]

a cracking name for something you wouldn't use , if I seen someone using that on a job would have to keep hiding it for the crack lol how they said it saves time have to agree with best would still have the tub of flux beside me
