to wobble or not to wobble

[compfranon]

Forget about the light up ones, they are just a gimmick, designed to attract moths that think they will do a better job. Just try using them on a non conductive material, you will soon realise why. I actually gave one away a couple of days ago. As useful as a bowler hat with sleeves.

The ones from Arc Euro do a great job.

Yep, I was just trawling fleabay as I wondered how the led version worked, then I found it's only useful on conductive materials. Standard wobbler it will be then.

Must admit I thought the led was a good idea for an awkward datum position, flap flap.:whistling:

I have tried everything over the years, wigglers LED's, lasers, playboy [ but we won't go there ] and I have always gone back to the wiggler / edgefinder.

I recently bought a pair of the ones Bogs linked to from ARC and these are my tool of choice only because I work in metric and my old bent up wiggler is still in imperial.

I bought one of the audible and light up ones, cost me about 50 quid so for that money it has to be the best thing since sliced bread ?
Nope, because of the brightly lit workshop and running machinery on the first edge I didn't see the light or hear the beep so that was 50 quid thrown into the bent bits scrap bin.

Oh well another flat battery in the car park of life.
