In reply to Post #31 Yeah I just spotted the delivery charge 😭
I have the DeWalt batteries so thought it would be perfect.

In reply to Post #29 £25.79 for the gun (without battery) but it takes DeWalt batteries...
£26.49 delivery charge :(

Thanks for the feedback
I'm caught in 2 minds, get rid of my rolling gear or buy one of these guns next time.
I've got the 5Mix multi head, so my thoughts were if it's slow with one nozzle it'd be mega slow with a multi nozzle head like mine

Anyone given one off AliExpress a try?

In reply to Post #27 Back in my bait making days I used the Solar 4 head nozzle but always blanked off one nozzle. I found with 4 I couldn't stop the sausages sticking together, 3 was much easier.

In reply to Post #25 Obviously depends on nozzle size and stiffness of mix,
I’m soon going try my 4 nozzle head for 12 & 10 millers as they are a bit slow with a single nozzle.
I’ve extruded 14mm through single nozzle with a softish mix and had to turn the speed down

In reply to Post #25 There's a speed knob on the orange ebay ones - i can"t give you a cm per second number but it goes from painfully slow to not quite fast enough to not be able to snip or cut a sausage and keep going - if that makes snwae
The top speed is still way better than gunning out by hand.

In reply to Post #24 It'd be a nightmare, don't even think about it unless you were to mount it horizontally and use some form of clamo to push it.
I've asked this before but can't remember getting a answer. What speed/rate do the battery caulk guns protrude the sausage at? I seem to remember seeing 8mm/sec and thinking caulk is a lot softer than the boilie mixes I've used, especially if you knock a few 2kg mixes up at once and they're 'resting' whole you're extruding.

In reply to Post #23 I thought so but worth double-checking 👍

In reply to Post #22 Unless you are making 40mm boilies I think that will struggle to push the dough out! You need some mechanical advantage (lever) to push boilie dough out this is meant for sloppy mortar mix

Has anyone used something like this?

In reply to Post #20 Thanks mate, yeah as you say you are nose blind to it all
I didn’t mind the smell as it was a proper maple flavour smell which is one of my favourites.
It was only when my missus came home there was a problem, she’s very sensitive to smells, she won’t go into shops if they have incense sticks burning as it affects her throat, anyways she comes in and wonders what the smell was. It was pretty strong considering it was just a little Jiffy bag 😂
I can remember years ago Tony from Premier telling me one of the lads dropped a litre glass bottle of injun oil, which obviously smashed, took a very long while for the smell to subside 😂😂

In reply to Post #13 I'm glad you got it. The jiffy bag smell you mentioned in your PM.
The boxes of padded envelopes have been stored in our bait cabin. First time they have ever been stored there, for just two weeks. They have clearly soaked up the mix match of smells that come out of our bait heater. Thanks for the heads up. That can never happen again storing them in there.
A few weeks ago Gary Peet of the Tackle Box came to pick up the shops stock. He was in the cabin for an hour. First 'outside' person ever to enter. When he went home, his missus made him remove all clothes and shower, as he absolutely stank apparently.
Before Xmas, I was in Brazil. Everyone was complaining for a week about a horrific smell on our balcony. I could not smell it as bad as everyone else. Eventually it was narrowed down to the hard case for my MacBook Pro. I use it in the cabin, it had soaked up the same vapours from all the baits for months. It stank of baby sick. I had been on a ten hour transatlantic flight, in business class with this case. Stank the gaff right out without knowing. I'm nose dead to it all now.
The adapted driers I have rigged up for the hook baits spit out a warm vapour that absolutely stinks, soaks into anything clearly, including your jiffy bag with your charger in.

In reply to Post #18 I've contacted the seller and there are more on a slow boat from China as we speak. He's going to message me when they're in stock again and I'll post up on here if it helps?

The ebay one is out of stock.
Are there any other options?
Has anyone tried the LINKY POO™ Makita one?
