Hi can you return the Cassese empty wedge cartridges, are they able to reuse them?
We get through loads of them and seems a waste.

I fill mine up again with alfamachine v nails and reuse them over and over. I haven’t bought a new cartridge for over a year.

Re: Cassese empty wedge cartridges
Likewise! After a while the little piece of plastic which slides along inside get brittle and the little springy bits break off and you have to buy some new cassesse cartridges. The Alfamacchine universal wedges pull the joins together much better than the cassesse wedges. Also the longer cassesse wedge havea horizonal groove pressed into them and jam in the underpinner more easily, this does not happen with the Alfamacchine wedges. The Alfamacchine wedges use their power twist feature to pull the joints together both tightly and smoothly - These are my favourite wedges!

I break the little push slider out and fill with Casesse Uni wedges. Bit off brute force and ignorance
required but it works for me.
