Rhino tubes Vs soil pipe?

[mutley racers]

Hey fellers, lately, i have been building up lots of pipes. I am just wondering what you guys go for.

I have read the thread on here about them. Which basically says, if the thieves want to get in, they will no matter what!

So, is it worth paying out for a proper pipe tube?

I am in need of some sought of contraption, and since i just ended up with enough scrap, to buy a proper tube, should i?

depends how you want to look imho cow boy or pro so to speak and whats it going on

i see, cowboy or pro. I have a 2006 vauxhall vivaro. Nice van. So i guess i need a nice pipe tube a.

Any ideas where to buy them? You can get 6inch ones can't you? Am sure i have seen them, but can't find them online

I've got my 3 metre long pipe tube fixed INSIDE my van so that I can access it from the back door. Far more secure than on a roof rack.

Google Rhino pipe carriers or buy from Screw Fix but they are expensive for them.

Nothing wrong with a neatly constructed 110mm soil pipe with 2 screw on end caps. I did with this for ages and I aint no cowboy. Some of you on here put image before substance. You can drive around in a brand new shiny van, have the latest tools and tech, be spotless in designer branded workwear, but chances are you'll be cack at your work and probably served your time on a 3 month fast track course.

If some wee scumbag wants to break into your van, they will. They don't care about you, your tools or your livelyhood, they only care where their next fix is coming from. I also welcome any new government legislation controlling scrap metal merchants. All too often I've seen many lengths of brand new copper tube and even rolls of lead in them.

I have the truxrax set up, very good kit. It does look a lot better than a bit of soil pipe. But if it gets you more work? I dont know.

used to have a soil pipe on my old escort, twice someone tried to rob pipe but it was empty so they just threw the screw cap away instead.
Now got a transit connect and it looks too nice to put a soil pipe on it. Got the Rhino tube with roof bars now, made up. Can fit much more pipe in than a soil pipe and the lock seems to be a good deterrant atleast.

I attach mine to a bath plug chain bolted through the pipe for the very same reason!
