the best foil body cords?

[neal white]

I saw an old reference (2005) to great cords made by Sam Signorelli. I don't know him - how can I reach him?

what do people think are the sturdiest?

I think the sturdiest are the Negrini cords, integrated either with the Italian bayonet system or 2 prong.

I got Neal's PM, but I'm dealing with the death of my laptop at the moment...

Here's the original thread, with all the discussions...

HOM presents: The American body cord..

Best body cords????

And the winner is???


Best new Idea: Sam's (Purple Fencer) H.O.M. fencing
Best Wire: Negrinni - it's bullet proof! Seven strains of Silver Copper Clad Steel, braided by 27 strains of tinned copper, covered by PVC. Its just the best out there. Like the commercial though, "It's gonna cost ya"
Best 3 prong end???? Toss up between a Negrinni & Uhlmann
Best 2 prong end?? Got to go with Uhlmann. I really like the old style pins, not the new ones.
Best Alligator Clip??? Mueller #27C 20 amp clip. This is the copper one, not the tin one.

Does all this make sense??? Hope so!

Is it easier to solder? Maybe if you had a timer and wanted to test it? Either way, my goal still is to make you a solder king. Don't fight it, its gonna happen. Fire, flux and lead/solder are going to be your friend.

I just like the copper one better. The spring is the same, the mold is the same, everything about it is the same. One is just copper and the other is tin. Heck, either one will out last a body cord wire no matter what happens. I just like the looks of the copper color. Simple?
