This allows me to separate the two strips without having to undo any of the fragile equipment wires.<br /><br />I've had one wire breakage so far, and that was on a machine that didn't have spiral cable wrap on the moving wire loom.vik-olliverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14574212494833831824noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4339813531032979196.post-67126258185121440372011-06-10T00:31:04.825+01:002011-06-10T00:31:04.825+01:00I couldn't agree more.

Very annoying.
