You are on the Delta Forum so you must know that they sell equipment. There are several dealers of equipment if you do an internet search. I think overall, all equipment will get the job done. Every manufacturer says that their equipment and resins are the best. You need to do your research on which will suite your purpose best. I decided to use GT Glass equipment but have purchased accessories from Delta and Liquid Resins. I think sometime in the future, I'll visit Delta for their training just to get a different perspective and see their equipment.

Also, if you search this forum, you will find that this question has been answered a few times.

I don't personally use Delta's equipment. I have however attended their training and had the chance to use their equipment in the field when people have ridden with me. Also a pdr guy that does work at one of my fleet accounts has their equipment and I have had the oppotunity to use his. All that to say I think Delta's equipment is probably the best investment you can make. The free training doesn't hurt either. I don't use their equipment simply because I already have equipment that I have learned to do excellent repairs with and haven't been able to justify the expense.

Every tech has his or her own favorite tool system. The important thing is to compare compare compare and see each type in action so you can make an educated decision. Try to resist the impulse to buy something unseen and undemonstrated. I think the posters on this forum probably unanimously agree that what we don't need in this business is another half-baked tech. If you're going to enter our industry, please do it with your head screwed on tight. Besides, you'll make more money when you do good work.
