maybe look the same but maybe yours take 4 twists and your apprentice will require to do 14 twists and time will tell how long they last

tehe!.
i have got a sset from ebay like the rottenburger n kopex type, paid ten quid for 15/22mm that was 18months ago same blade well happy.
think the only difference is branding certainly not the blade.

 

[Puddle]

same blade well happy./QUOTE]
Are they suppose to have a blade in explains a lot

 

[andyg0507]

i got a set of monument slices 15/22mm for £17 and think there spot on.

And they even came with blades in, not quite sure what there for yet but im sure someone on here will tell me

 

[Kimou]

I bought my slices about 15 years ago. Changed the blade about 10 times and the body about 3. But it's as good as new still )

The drain snake, also known as a drain rodding system or drain rooter, was developed about a century ago in the United States by a man who used a washing machine motor and roller skates to build his first model. It sounds strange, but it's true! This early model of the drain snake rooter went on to sell thousands of units during the great depression, and the machine that plumbers use today to clean tree roots and other obstructions from your drains is still very similar to the original design.

They're the same as circular saws and other cutting tools. Usually come with a crap blade as standard. My circular is a p.pro from B&Q about 10 years ago, the blade lasted about 4 cuts but spent about £25 on a proper blade that cuts nails and everything and still going strong (Goes through the sparkies wires a treat!)

monument and rothenburger copyed kopex ,kopex invented the slice think you will find most of monument stuffs made in china and there kit is not the best quality and that goes for rothenburger as well

monument tools employ 45 people at its factory in hackbridge, surrey where they make most of their own pipe cutters out of aluminium alloy and plastic, these tools are marked as being made in the uk not china, i accept that with the exception of the compresion fitting spanners most other tools are imported, also monument holds patents prior to kopex for their cutters which rothenburger re-badges aswell. on the subject of rothenberger i agree the quality has nose dived over the last 10 years and dont use their stuff, most of their hand tools are manufactered in spain not china by ega-master who also supply some stuff to britool, stanley and faithfull. if you dont like monument or rothenberger whos tools do you buy?

 

[Billy Bob Bob]

bacho,knipex or teng or snap on, i did not say i did not like them i just said the quality's gone down

 

[SafeGasInstall]

good man! footprint manufacture all their own tools in their new factory get their wrenches , chisels and saws on ebay cheap, tho not as cheap as the chinese crap. king dick make all their own spanners in most forms except adjustable their available at abbots tool on line and or quite cheap, snail brand make their own spanners and punches and even make my fave adjustable the auto wrench or monkey wrench in old money their available on ebay, melco box spanners are top notch made in england good prices at tooled-up.com.

+1 thats the spirit, oe day in the near future we,r all going to drown in a sea of cheap imported crap if we dont support local manufacturing. i for one would spend a few quid more on british made products and support british workers any day, granted its not %100 possible these days but i always try to aviod imported stuff.

 

[SafeGasInstall]
