Damaged scaff key for sale? What a bargain...

Hspannerwilltravel

yes---the ratchet handle exceeds the 8 1/2 ", which is the recommended fulcrum length to achieve the BS Torque Value---it is perceived that the extra length will increase the Torque and damage may occur...

Key/spanner who cares, their selling damaged goods which is probably illegal and if it isn't it should be. What's next? A lopsided level... Perhaps you use a bubble....

Go buy the 'spanner' turkey, it's a bargain.
 
whys it dameaged goods then gwilym - please explain???
 
I try to use my tools as little as possible... When any work needs doing i usually end up in the toilet.
Thats why some Scaffolders call me 'Shiit-house Jay'. :D

Seriously though:
Have you tried to contact Neil @ BuyBrandTools? to ask him what the score is?

Try speaking to buybrand and if you still don't get what you want come back and tell us. This will be the first complaint I have heard.

Not illegal to sell damaged goods and it quite clearly says damaged on the advert.
Maybe the question should be "What idiot would spend 39 quid on a damaged key?"
I have worked for several big name companies who although wouldnt supply damaged tools would be quite prepared to supply sub-standard ones made in China etc.

i havent heard it called that for a very long time jay, since the mid 80's on GKN - another term lost in the annuals of time from the old school days , but never the less still a valid one lol

jay when ya just on the ground ya spanner dont get used much does it.. u will have made up a few puncheons in 7 years tho so won't be too far from a new spanner lol..
 
True, lol.
There was a rumour going about that my Spanner was actually glued to my belt.

But it was all lies... a few weeks ago i got it out to whack a few nails in - a bit of wood on the back of the lorry. ;)
Defo not glued, just firmly 'placed'.
