Nerrad tap wrench kit

[Harvest Fields]

JC. Now sorted. Thanks again.
My 'excuse' is that writing & editing videos is a nightmare...
I know exactly 'why' it happened, but it shouldn't have.

All good. Now though mate.

Yes , I've just told the landlady it will have to be a new showerbath but I couldn't do it till next year.

Now she asks if the tap can be moved to other side!

Easy money for your there mate. Worth taking the bath panel off to have a look?

Hmm. Thing is, you'll not seal that properly and three months of water leaking could destroy flooring etc.

You'll have to judge her and the situation VERY carefully AND need to write something up & get her to sign to move responsibility very clearly back to her for ALL consequences. Not easy

Yes, this job came in from a new customer last night, an easy tap swap apparently which set alarm bells ringing so I asked for pictures from the tennant.

 

[Harvest Fields]

Get her to sign a disclaimer about moving the tap hole and that she is having a new bath at some point. Could you not glue/silicone a flat piece of PVC over the hole on a temp basis? Not ideal I know but should work until you can put a new bath in for her?

 

[Phil]

I was thinking that, it actually looks a half decent bathroom, surely CT1 and some white plastic will do it.

On a temp basis I would say yes. But I would still want that old bath out and new one in. (But that’s just me)

Most tools are mass produced in Chinese factories, and quality is determined by the production run that they are made on at that time. Support a good British tool manufacturer like Monument, not overpriced hyped up tat made in a Chinese factory.

Please excuse me but may I ask how much product you have made in China as you seem so intimate with it?

The clue is in the Made in China sticker on the packaging.
Just about everything is made in China these days, from my fly fishing kit to the tools I use and most of the products in your home.
The reason why I know is that I get sent info from the manufacturers when new products are being made, so you're excused pal.

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?

Jawdropper for me abt £50

Jawdropper for me abt £50

All that I use and on occasion a telescopic crows foot wrench.
I do find the big screw on the jawdropper to tighten it gets chewed easily and doesn't tighten.

Ahh. A resident Chinese manufacturing expert. Welcome.

My experience, as a manufacturer, is that Chinese quality can far exceed that I've seen in the west. Admittedly I have no idea what I am talking about, but what I have seen - obviously only there a couple of months ago so may have changed - it that Western business is only interested in the cost not the quality.

From my conversations with both Chinese & Western manufacturers, the Chinese are more than happy & capable of producing 100% perfect goods but of course they need to charge a reasonable price. Western organisations unfortunately do not value their customers so they buy cheap and get the quality the Chinese (or anyone else for that matter) can produce for the money they are paid.

Thank you for your valuable insight.

I think a good old fashioned mud wrestle would sort this out?

He must have fallen out of bed and landed on his "happy side".

 

[Harvest Fields]

Don’t get me involved. I’m just saying what I feel people want to see.

How about a tag team bout, I could pair up with Yorkshire Dave against Cailean & CHRISX
(Humour lads, just humour)

Would you pay though?
All proceeds to charity of course

Well I'm running an appeal for Strathcarron Hospice, if that helps. Any of you that can cast a fly rod on a river are more than welcome to join us on the River Nith on the 4th of November. Grumpy is welcome too.
