I mean all it is is a solidified block of Vim, isn’t it?. I think I might try making my own. The last one I bought a couple of years ago is getting a bit short. I have used Scotchbrites and they’re OK but not quite as convenient shape-wise.
Any advice on where to get one for £2 or how to set up my own little factory appreciated 😆 .
Mike.Re: Why does a comm stick cost £6?
I agree, they’re not cheap but a pair for around 10 or 15 quid will last most folks a lifetime. I bought a pair way back when Kwatt’s dad was in short trousers and still have (almost) a full stick left…!!!
Com sticks are a priceless necessity for any right-minded engineer to have in his toolkit. They last for ages and in that time can earn you thousands in successful motor/carbon brush repairs.
Go one, shell out a few quid….why not? :clown:

Indeed, if Martin would only take his own advice and shell out on a new one, that would create a surge in demand causing a temporary panic at Qualtex. They’d get 50 in, causing a temporary supply overload, and I could get one for two quid.If yours has lasted that long Martin, it has to be a soft one :clown: .
You’d better make it last a bit longer as Qualtex don’t do them ones any more.

I always use the dark orangey brown ones, although the chalky ones do fill the comm gaps nicely they break up for fun. Mine last years as well.

I do have a soft one which I’ve had for 25 years but my hard one is all broken 😯 .
