@Valvebloke Just in case these might be useful - cheap tip cutters. These are normally like £80-100 or so.

Cheers Pete. I had to put an Amazon order in anyway, so these are on it too now. I already have the Bahco straight 8000 series flush cutters and was using them only this morning. They’re not for heavy jobs of course, but when you need to get in tight they will reach where almost nothing else will.

They are now £54.99.

That’s because VB bought them!

Actually there was one pair left at £16.54 IIRC after me.

Mine.

Suspect that might be because the inventory hasn’t been updated. Amazon use a strategy called ‘eventual consistency’ with their databases. </it geek>

Sounds very Zen.

Just as long as no-one thought I had been panic-buying. I’ve just got back from Sainsbury’s. The chap standing by their completely empty loo-roll shelf (and empty tissues, and almost empty kitchen rolls) said they had had a delivery overnight which had all gone by mid-morning. They might get another delivery tonight. Or they might not. I hadn’t actually gone in for those, thank goodness.

A lifetime’s faff will lead to this. :+1:

They were €54.99 when I followed the link, that’s fine it’s all been explained away via EJ style dynamic pricing, however I am struggle with this bit

So, who was it? @coco or @valvebloke

My money is on Pete. It’s probably still on his floor unopened.

It was me, but some time ago. I’ve bought both of those, but not at the same time :grinning:

Amazon has everyone fucked right up the arse

Only if you’re gullible enough to follow their recommendations.

Is that just the Wera set?

Well, I have bought both. :grinning:

Don’t know what you mean, I don’t own any Wera gear :thinking:

Not me I’m afraid. Of course they tailor which of those they show you. They didn’t suggest Dr John to me (their mistake, I might have been tempted). I can’t remember what they did put up now.
