Well, won't be treating myself to Hellfrauds spanner set this month...
« on: 15 January 2014, 22:14:24 »
Was going to purchase this as a present to myself when I get paid this month...

Before Christmas it was £39.99 so was thinking I'd get it for a little less with my trade card and everyone'd be happy. In Jan it's now almost doubled in price.  >:( Really annoyed!

Yup, I knew it was at a reduced price so I should have got it before Christmas. I just assumed being January it'd be on offer; January sales and all  :'(

This prompted me to look on eGay. There's cheaper versions but they're either 'Nelsons' or 'Silverline'. Never heard of Nelsons and Silverline...hmmm.

Yeah, I did wonder, Jonny. But they're pretty retarded in my local one so was hoping they'd make a big mistake....like last time  :o :o :o ;D

BTW it's a Neilson kit (Not Nelson  ::)) that I've been looking at. Good price but no reviews  :-\

When I got my kit recently the girl   :o ::) serving me almost gave me a ratchet spanner set as well, because of the description on the box. If only the manager hadn't wandered up to the till at that point  :'(
I also lifted a few spare bulbs to test the trade card. No joy  :-X
