Alberto preferred Conwin equipment is #84500,
best known as the Dual
Split Second Sizer. ‘I always find it very elegant and
fun with its two cunning red eyes and its happy disposition always
ready to puff… I have known it for many years and now we are
inseparable friends! Recently I gave it a gift: a Quick Switch,
it was so happy to receive this present that it wanted to make a
party, working for a full night to make big decorations. “Dual”
is a good and precise worker, very fast and quiet. It is light,
easy to transport and practical to place…In short, it’s
the ideal fellow worker or, if you prefer, the ideal playmate’.
