Tecflex or Vantec Sleeving kit?

Techflex adverstieses that it expands 150X its normal size.. vantec doesnt say...
techflex is more money.... soooo which one is better?

I believe most all sleeving stretches that far. I don't like the kits, because if you mess up and don't have enough left to fix, you have to buy another "kit" to get it to match. I always buy mine in bulk for that reason.

but kits are cheaper smile.gif

buying the lseving individually, its like 1.25 Canadian per foot... about 12 inches... now kit.. its about 30+ ft of sleeving... for 25$ +/-

This is what the Vantec site says about the Vantec sleeving:
QUOTE
The braided sleeve is expandable up to 150%, making it easy to slip over any plugs or connectors.


Hope this helps.

Thats close to a dollar a foot, how can you say that is cheaper, I buy it for less than 50cents a foot.

Update: as of now Voyeurmods.com has it for 25cents per foot.

Get a vantec kit and some extra heatshrink (of all sizes)... or get 2 kits, they have a fair amount of sleeving for the price but you may need 2.

I sleeved my PSU and still had some left over from the one kit.

i just did mine and theres a god awful amount of sleeving left. i dont even know what do do with ti. and this is from the kit

If you read correctly it reads 150% not "X" so in fact it's only 1-1/2 times bigger and will not go over plugs that easy dry.gif

I would say get what ever you think looks better and is cheaper. I mean, c'mon, its just sleeving, cosmetic purposes. Who else besides you will realize the difference between 2 brands of sleeving? I would say Vantec because its cheaper and I SERIOUSLY doubt you'll be able to sleeve your wires with the molex connectors still attatched with either brand.
