Rems Mini Amigo Feedback.

[Guest123]

I recently bought one of these as my other standard Rems is poorly sick, (not really surprised considering the abuse it's had).

Was a bit sceptical at first due to the size of it and apparent lack of a handle but having used now for the last 2 days on both 20 & 25mm galv, I have to say I'm quite impressed with it.

The bigger one is a little easier to use as there is more of it to grab hold of, but even the initial 'bite' is minimal on the mini.

All in all, I'd recommend both but, if cost is an issue don't be put off by going for the mini as it is a good machine & easier to carry around & store as it comes in a small zippable carry bag as opposed to a big metal box.

Shown in the pic is the pipe clamp that comes with it, only used it a couple of times when threading close to a box/set etc.

I keep meaning to buy one, but haven't been able to justify one yet! Got a nice ratchet threader for the odd bits & pieces that I need to do!

I’m also toying with the idea of buying one. Getting feed up of the fitters always making comments that I’m still doing it the ‘old fashioned way’ (as they thread another pipe on their fancy threading machine!).

Noticed that one guy on eBay has knocked about £45 of the price, down to about £220 inc P&P.

Is that for the mini & new condition???

 

[BigSi]

It’s for the Rems Mini Amigo (110v). It says new, with support bracket, bag, 20/25 & 32mm Die Heads.


Not sure if I’m allowed to put the link on here, but if you search for Rems you should find it.

Im still hovering over the 'Buy it now, button!!!!!

Well, I’ve finally ordered one, so should have it in a few days or so. Just starting a job with a lot of conduit, so thought that this would be as good a reason to buy one! :icon10:
