Armstrong Trimmer

They are hard to come by as the factory in Australia who made them burned down I was told today

 

Got three of them. Armstrong stopped making tools.

 

I have one I got in a toolkit from the Armstrong installation school in 1988. What a great tool.

 

I got one from them as well, 40$ seems a little high, are blades still available.

 

I have that tool.

I'd have to look but I might have two.

Never used it.

They're on Ebay now and again for significantly less than $40.

I'm sure I didn't pay more than $10-15 just to see what the hell they were.

 

I liked it when I was installing in my own, has to be an extension of your hand, so it takes a little getting use to. Used for residential thin stuff. The bottom of it would scratch the vinyl as other trimmers would, I believe it's hollow underneath. I don't know how many tools I've had to tape up in order to prevent scratching.

 

The fuzzy side of a velcro kit works good for the tools that slide on wall base or floors.

 

I want to buy an Armstrong trimmer. Hows the condition?

 

Would you sell one? nedrob43@gmail.com

 

I will need to see if I can get a replacement for one of them. It can be one of the other kind. I carry them in my training bag for when I do training's. I like to let the installers get a feel of them.

 

I heard the other day from another layer who uses on all the time we can once again get the blades here as some man in China is making them
Dont know if same man is going to make the trimmers themselves as well

 

It would be great to get one. I have Proknees Goof proof trimmer it works good but I am just knot comfortable with it. I used the s-66 for so many years that I could almost cut in a room with my with my eyes closed using it. I do have a few blades left for the s-66 and a sores for a few more but that will dry up soon. I would like to know about the sores in china. Of course that isn't going to do me any good unless I can get another cutter. I keep checking Ebay But I haven't found one yet except for the two that sold a while back.
