I got me a new toy !

Old splicer (6 years trusty service) just replaced with one of these ...

Maybe not quite a ‘craft sensitive’ as my original, but it does the whole damn caboodle in one. I’m all for easy. That this can be used in awkward situations will clearly be a boon at some point.

Rumour has it they cost a grand and a half less than the last one too !

The KF4A FTTx Splicer has everything safely in one unit: a splicer, oven, a built-in heat stripper, precision cleaver and alcohol dispenser.

A stripper, oven and alcohol dispenser - sounds like a bachelor pad lol.

Coming in at £4392:70 they are not cheap either.

Congrats on the new hardware mate.

After watching the video they are quite delicate items and need looking after by the look of them.
