I can’t believe how well this splicer works. I work for a Communications company and we’ve been renting a fusion splicer for around 1k a week, I’ve been looking at these off brand splicers for a while and finally pulled the trigger on purchasing one. The 1st job I used it on was over 150 splices and all I can say is,wow!Out of 150 splices, I only had 1 strand fail. I’m definitely going to purchase a second one.
