I also have a spoke threader question. This is for the more experienced / pro builders here who may have pondered the same question. I've been pondering this question for a few months and still can't decide. I'm looking at purchasing the Morizumi SCT but it's pricey. After I pay the import tax which will be around £500 it'll come to about £2,500 ish. It's one of the best out there but I'm not sure I can justify such a layout given the size of my business. But when it does peak it would certainly come in handy rather than ordering from various suppliers and seeing what lengths they have in stock.

Would certainly make life easier when I have loads of builds on the go. I can use up all those lengths that sit around waiting for the build that doesn't happen. I can also buy up cheap stocks of spokes and cut them to the length I need. I can also supply custom lengths. But how long till I break even?
Any thoughts appreciated.
