I tend to just buy the cheapest 0.9mm discs I can find for the small grinder...don't really see much real difference in the way they perform vs the branded stuff...but I'm only usually cutting thin stuff anyway.
Only ever had 1 disintegrate on me but I was doing something stupid at the time!
Shopping on AliExpress made me realize that there's a lot of reselling goes on in the UK!

I don't think anything smaller than 1.8mm for 9" discs exist and I certainly wouldn't want to use a 0.9mm one without a bomb suit
Pretty much everything on amazon/ebay is drop shipped/from aliexpress, it's hilarious seeing something on amazon 3x the aliexpress price just with a 1-2 day delivery rather than 5-7

Yea mine are for a small 115mm grinder...I just buy the cheapest ones.
Agree on the drop shipping...once I started comparing I realized it was all the same stuff but at twice the price!

That's about the size I was expecting but they're seriously chunky.Mmmm - Lindstrom!
I’ve got a few pairs of their wire cutters, excellent gear
I've managed to pick up loads of pairs as part of job lots of used tools, I think a lot of people don't realise how good they are. I'd definitely pick Lindstrom over Knipex for this size plier.

I'm surprised DHL is being so bad never had a massive issue with them always thought they were better than evri(hermes) otherwise they would have copied and done a similar renaming/restructuring!Drop Hide Loose, lived up to their name.

What really boils my pee is in 2019, well after the law changed about customer service phone numbers, they still had a premium rate number listed. It did not have any warning that it was premium and they kept me on hold for something like an hour over 3 calls. I was on PAYG at the time and used all my credit, about 20 quid, left me unable to call work and got into some trouble, that really soured the job.
Might as well start replacing the pivot pins now, drill a couple of extra holes and add screws to secure the handle too. Other than that, they seem to work pretty well.Drop Hide Loose, lived up to their name.

Never mind some dick head in a DHL van just came flying along and tried to force his way in skip the traffic followed by running up my ass lights flashing because I wouldn't let him do so...
Can confirm DHL suck
Pair of lights and 110 transformer for £14 in this months auction.
Also got a makita DA4031 right angle drill though doesn't appear to be working, hopefully it's an easy fix or that's me down a fair bit!
Plus another box of machine skates, a Steerman SCS-20 kit though don't need it since I got all the smaller ones last month so that'll be going on ebay.
Also was told these are all dated 2023/24 coming up soon and there's easily 40 mini diggers!

Admit it. At some point in time, you will be waving one of those around, pretending it's a lightsaber.
It's already happened......
