Not exactly. They are based near me and I have attended several of their 'toolbox' tool testing seminars.

You will never find a bunch of harder working guys, all ex plumbers who have got together and tried to build a company to run against the might of Rothenberger and Monument.

BUT and a bit BUT, I speak highly of their products because the quality and thought that have gone into them. They seem to think out of the box and deserve to do bloody well.

Watch out for them in the future.

Didn't say there was anything wrong with that, just made the connection, best of luck to the guys i say.

I hate Rottenburger, sour grapes how they corporately force acquisitions, patent it, brand it, then rip us all off.

How have your lads got around this licensing and UK wide fickle patent laws? The guys that made this live in the USA.

I don't see any real advantage with this over rubber bungs, maybe they hold better though, I don't know, that's about it.
btw, do you think capping the vent and capping the cold feed before you powerflush is a good idea ? :crazy

You need to include the feed and vent pipes in the flush. Link them together and valve inline .

Of course Gas, apologies if I came across a little defensive on behalf of the guys.

They don't let me in on all their commercial secrets but our little tool box group have become pretty tight.

Rothenberger are out to get them, obviously regardless of whether the love or loathe Roth, they will want to put pay to any future threat. Apparently Roth have been trying to acquire them for a while but the boys have resisted. Obviously their little company isn't worth much but it was for damage limitation for Roth, again you can kind of understand it. They also have been pushed by TP to buy them out as they are a pretty big supplier to PTS now. Again, they want to go it alone and I say fair play to them.

Honestly though GAS, if you saw some of the new products they are scrapping money together to get patents on, you wouldn't believe it. I probably can't say anymore than that as all us guys have to put our name to confidentiality agreements.

In answer to your question on the Jet Swets, I believe they are made in Las Vegas and like all of the boy's tools, none are made in China or India.

I do know that they were looking for another 'few good men' to trial a few new tools, don't know if they've found a few more but I can find out.

Probably need to be in the South London area though.

They have a board of their tools at my local PTS. All looks like quality made stuff. I would buy some if it wasn't so expensive. I liked the look of their grips but for a little less money I bought some Cobras. Everyone on here seems to love cobras. I prefer my old fashioned Rothy grips if I'm honest.

They are not made there and they are imported.

I have no vested interest in this, being tolerable to the rules of UKPF, can i ask, why did you covertly try to datamine this forum?

You want us to buy your stuff, how can doing what you have done, make us want to do this?

What are you on about Gas ???

You can look at the USA website of Jet Swet, I'm sure they couldn't carry the made in USA logo otherwise.

If anything, I feel like I want it help these guys. After all, the tools are good and ultimately designed to make life easier for us plumbers.

Apparrently it is ?
Data mining (the analysis step of the "Knowledge Discovery in Databases" process, or KDD),an interdisciplinary subfield of computer science ?
The term is a buzzword and is frequently misused to mean any form of large-scale data or information processing (collection , extraction, warehousing analysiis and statistics) but is also generalized to any kind of computer decision support system, including artificial intelligence, machine learning, and business intelligence.
Now that`s as clear as mud to me too ?
Am going to take an aspirin and have a lay down I think !

I much prefer alligators. Cobras are good but pressing the button gets on my wick.

Never heard of em. Only bought these two weeks back, and I'm reaching for my trusty Rothy's over them. £40 too. Not cheap. Yeah the button is a pain. I will need to look up alligators now.

IMG_5544.jpgSo it appears alligators are the same as my old othy's. In other words, basic grips!

LOL - well spotted Tamz!

I've got to be honest, I prefer the rothy's over the Cobra's. I will buy some Alligators to add to my collection.

Might as well, I have about 4 other makes, so they can go with the collection.

BTW - that Lidl hoover has been brill. Will buy a spare when they're next in store!
