    Red face Quansol Distributor

    I am the new owner of the Quansol Mitre Box from New Zealand. We are looking for a large, tiler tool distributor which covers The UK and Europe. Is anyone able to help. We are trying to get large quantities shipped to your end of the world to reduce freight and importing costs, so that they will be readily available in stores for you.

    Thanks

    Paul, if I recall a conversation with Tradetiler.com Home a while back . He mentioned he would have like to stock the Quansol mitre box but either shipping costs were too much or it was required for him to order in an excessive amount.
    Maybe now is the time to re-negotiate with David at Tradetiler.com Home.

    Yes I have the Quansol mitre box and find it very useful

    Tradetiler.com Home is where the majority of UK tilers get their kit

    not used one but seen the online demo, not sure it's comparable to your standard plastic mitre block, £40-£50 springs to mind from looking last year but could be wrong

    I would disagree actually as i have the genesis metal mitre box too. In fact probably tried them all.
    The Quansol isnt a must have, its a luxury. That doesnt mean it does mitres any better, i happen to find it easier to use though and if it gives me that feeling then its money well spent. I do agree that it is a lot of money though but i work hard and i like tools.

    True but it got there via a distributor who had the distribution rights to NZ but was sending them all over the world..... hence the reason for them being quite expensive. that distribution channel has been stopped and we are looking to sell them directly from our factory to a distributor in UK to cut out the number of clips on the ticket.
