    Wiring sets or bits & bobs

    My foils are all clean ready to get wired. What do I choose, wire sets or buy all the parts and do it myself. I am not completely incompetent when it comes to fixerup. So which is best to do? Which is more economical?

    Learn to do your own rewires. it's not that difficult, but you have to be careful at a fee steps. I started doing my own when it was taking forever to get them back from the club. Right now, I'll put a blade on my acetone pipe when I leave for work, take it ou twhen i get home and can have the work done and ready to fence with in about 30 minutes, depending of how many times I have to shoo one of my cats away from the wire!

    Hey Cher, me again! I would buy the parts for now, that is if you are going to re-use the barrel, tip, spring, etc. If not, you may want to get a whole new kit, just to keep things consistent.
