Good evenings

A word of warning.

I bought a cheap drain rod set for under £20 and when I was testing it, it snapped on one of the joins. Luckily I managed to get it out of the manhole and when I tried the rest of the joins in my hands and bent them a little over 90 degrees another 3 or 4 snapped, one on the plastic but the rest the metal joins failed. Total rubbish.
From this I have learnt a valuable lesson:

If you buy cheap tools, they will let you down.
