I want this kit but will feel robbed at £167.00

I do a lot of taps but I have the jaw droppers and monoblock spanners..
I don't own any Nerrad tools, are the worth the money?

 

[ShaunCorbs]

PB plumber you posted up Shaun has all the new toys but I suspect he's getting freebies for advertising them.

I've got the 15 & 22 pipe slices and the stubby wide jaw spanner they're well made bits of kit - although when I looked in their catalogue different products are made to different standards.

When you say you 'do' a lot of taps Phil, do you mean change a lot?

Nerrad tools seem to evoke a 'Marmite' response from what I've seen. THey were very popular fro a while but then backed off marketing so have fallen away somewhat.

Personally, I have only ever stuck with tools from toolmakers such as Bahco etc. I do not go for even the likes of Rothenburger anymore as just like the likes of Stanley, they are just too poorly made, too slack, too much tolerance which, on a tight tap nut, is pretty darned important when you're using them as your main source of income generation.

I agree with Shaun here. There's one other thing. If you are changing taps often cos there is a problem getting spares, maybe look at improving that situation. That way the pain in the bum problem of having to 'change em' goes away.

@YorkshireDave what do you have in mind ?????

 

[Welder]

My lips are as tight as our WRAS approval unlike 70%+ of the taps sold in the UK & 99.973% of cartridges.

Hey I thought I was being perfectly fair!
It's not my place, neither, to be honest, is it right to outright promote. That's for you 'clever' lot - hint hint.

 

[Jim Goodenough]

Very subtle promotion....

 

[Harvest Fields]

Not sure what you mean @YorkshireDave I’m sure that there is a company out there that have this special kit you can make your own cartridges with?

 

[Harvest Fields]

Actually scrap that as even though I was one of the first people to see it at a trade show I still didn’t get a free kit

 

[Welder]

Aww come on you horrible lot. I was genuinely trying to help.

Let's face it we've all struggled for years doing the bl00dy things but thanks to, and I quote, "A bl00dy good bit of kit" it's now a doddle...

Oh, on a course yesterday in sunny Gloucester training Dyno Plumbing lads, someone made a perfect new 3/4" cartridge in 4 minutes 56 seconds smashing the previous record of 12 mins 7 seconds...

But seeing it changed your life - NOT...

Actually a good point. If, genuinely, anyone is interested in a kit then I'll do you horrible lot £25 off. If you're interested let me know & I'll give you a code.

How much is it? Also, I think it is ok to promote as long as it is not you doing it.

Around the £180 mark ish

Around the £180 mark ish

STD Kit (12 cartridges) is £180 ex VAT That works out at £15 each for the kit (obvs loads of extra bits), but 'replacements' work out at an ave of more like £9.50.
