I spent hours as a refrigeration apprentice cutting Uni-Strut by hand with a hacksaw before we got a chop saw. The chop saw was extremely cumbersome this is a true technological advancement!
Fantastic tool that no mortal electrician will ever use. Secret millionaires only need apply. Yes for us less well off electricians the good old Makita Chop saw will still be the favoured option and the humble apprentice will still have to use the hacksaw with the blunt blade over the edge of a broken pallet. 😁🐔🤡
@@johnaphone wait sorry, I'm Canadian and five seconds of googling has me confused - is a chop saw what we would call a Sawzall or is it a bench-mounted circular saw?
@@acespark1..... what? I mean whaaaat? my ears are ringing just from thinking about how loud and hot that must be - especially indoors. have electric bandsaws not been a thing over where you are?
I agree brilliant tool lovely clean square edges and not a file in sight, gone of the wonky bandsaw cuts and the lovely scattering of Swarf which accompanied.
A few years ago fwe used Makita chop saw ,spent more time filing than cutting ! One of these would have saved so much grief. I think in my case a hacksaw would have been quicker !
That’s incredible! You’ll put us all out of a job! The Hinckley Point “Containment Operatives” will love that… whilst the Government and Union’s deny proper time served sparky’s a job there!! 🙁
Screwfix 507HG A 25 quid, 165mm, multi material blade in a cordless circular saw. use it with a speedsquare and it gently nibbles it's way through Uni like a. . . you know the rest. Give it a shot if you's like, do a vid on it?
Loud as fuck, kills your circular saw, lucky to get 20 cuts before blade is fucked. There's a reason true metal cut circular saws are 150mm and blades for them cost a fortune
Nice but can it cut stud, tray, conduit, trunking and strut like my metal cutting Makita circular saw. I don't need to be carrying extra weight and tools and that looks like a heavy piece of kit.
Nice. I was liking the that to you showed it has Bluetooth and an app , also another fancy overpriced toy for some scumbag to Nick of the van . Just my opinion but with tool theft on a massive increase you are fuelling the problem by reviewing these toys Maybe ? But who am I to argue i’am just a humble spark who’s opinion means nothing 🤣 Fantastic video guy’s as always 👍👍👍❤️
£2400!!!! 😂 JIB electrician rate of £14-16 /hr means this is a good piece of engineering but nothing else. A good video lads, just a product I’ll never see in use 😵💫🤯
@@efixx Cold Cut blades practically eliminate Sparks from a chop saw 😉 ,I used a Strut slayer last year and while it's good and clean cuts on Strut , it takes a while setting the struts up ,not to mention its a fairly heavy tool when set up.
Just received a quote £2,907 😳 we cut a fair amount of channel but who can justify this cost!! Nice review and was tempted to purchase until the quote landed 🫣😱😂

Did you never use a grinder?
My apprenticeship was all strut and rod by the bench all day cutting with a hacksaw ! Amazing new tools these day's

god I shouldn't feel that in my bones and my back and my knees and my arms and my wrists but I do. 💀
A site in manchester has two on hire. The makita chopsaw still wins for me

Totally agree!
Amazing. No filing, no sawing in the freezing cold, no hot works permit etc
We love it!

You need to get yourself a cold cut blade
Greenlee makes a table type one. Not as nice as a handheld but it works about the same for deep and shallow strut. It is AC powered
Thank you #efixx for kick-starting the Strutslayr campaign.
A fantastic piece of kit!
I use the m18 bandsaw or the m18 grinder but I don’t think there’s anything better than the strutslayer to cut unistrut

Better to think in terms of increased productivity.
Where can you get these in the UK? Can’t find them or prices anywhere
Fantastic bit of kit , be great to have featured the price ?
I googled it and it seems to be about £2K+VAT for the kit.

Angle grinder and skinny disc OR Apprentice. Apprentice is cheaper
Some sites getting funny about grinder and hot works
Metal Circular is just as good and cold cut
nice bit of kit when was this filmed ?
Think I’ll stick to my Milwaukee bandsaw, but will be interested to see the comparison.
Stay tuned!

Odd to see Ridgid in red ;) and not the orange that it is in other markets
Trying to blend in with eFIXX red 😉
Will the cutting head fit other hydraulic press machines like Rems or Milwaukee?
It’s just for the Ridgid

If they could adapt this to cut two pieces of strut at ones think it would be a game changer
You should ban Artisan Electrics from watching this as they now have a track record of damaging the structural integrity of buildings
I need Milwaukee to make this cutter
Stay tuned to see this go head to head with a Milwaukee bandsaw
£3500 then?

I’ve had 2 contracts managers in the space of a month threaten to get one for them to find out the price… still yet to see one ha!
No need for hot works permits
No quicker than using a chop saw
No sparks though...
What about filing off the sharp edges afterwards?

Unreal how much Americanism is making its way over to us last few years. It's too much. I miss European influence.

My preferred method is apprentice / hacksaw.
Apprentices only have one hand these days - other is glued to TikTok
