Buy a new what? Wife or splitter?

I'd go for the first choice!  :grin:

If your splashing out go for either the ED30 one or the Votex.  :happy2:

Another reason for me to buy a secondhand one off here or repair mine in case she damages a nice new one

In responce to what glue is best to use, i repaierd my splitter the other week using '3M 490' its a 2 part structural epoxy.

You can go without the EPX kit and just push a bolt into the end and mix the glueon a bit of cardboard if you wanted.

Its handy to have as it can stick any plastic, carbon, metal etc together and has heat resistant properties
