    That's just the standard stuff. This is cheaper stronger and about half the weight

    lol, just on a wind up mission ...

    How is it better than standard stuff and how much cheaper is it? I pay about a tenner for 41x41 and about sevens for 41x21.

    I used that stuff for a while and thought it was the business but it bends under any kind of weight if spanned over a metre or so. It's good for tray and stuff but that's about it. All our suppliers that used to stock it have stopped too..

    Used to use loads of the smaller hilti channel, had markings on it for cm so easy to cut and measure, all the fittings had the nuts and bolts already on, used to use it for hanging cassettes etc.
    Mostly found in Oxfordshire, UK :)
