Knocking in Machine - What are the options?
« on: April 06, 2015, 12:53:35 PM »
Without wanting to go into too much detail about why, I'm considering options about bat knocking in machines.

Can any of the retailers offer any advice about options please?

Thanks guys. This seems to be the only option that comes up on Internet searches. Just wondering if there are alternative at all? This is by no means cheap either.

B&S do have a knock in machine the prices quoted are out by quite a bit we have also done quite a bit of adjustments to make sure the machine does the job it's designed to do .There are several machines in the UK now I wont mention names as they may not wont to be knowen. Regarding price £20 including return postage I don't call steep £10 if you buy that bat from us

Sorry, not sure I understood that. Which prices quoted are out? I've taken those from their website. Not great to have to make adjustments after paying that much.

Would be interested to know if any other companies offer alternative.

Ok thanks for your input. Seemingly there aren't any other options/ manufacturers/ supplier or are these guys the best out there?
