I'd have there's no doubt they are British
"Maun Industries Ltd was established in 1944 and is the UK’s largest manufacturer of pliers with a specific design innovation for parallel action tools."

Bit of a shame...maybe we should have bought the lot of 20 boxes (2,000 clips) as a group buy and divided them up between ourselves. £100 for 2,000 clips did seem "a little" cheap to me.
I got 300 for £17 which is about 6p a clip....yea that's very cheap indeed I think.
Looks like he ended everything....I wonder if someone just went in with an offer on everything he was selling (car boot seller maybe?)....or one of us?

I don't believe it does run on grbl, I think that requires some hardware modifications.

Not today.
No, no.
Yesterday.
M4 services, by the Prince of Wales bridge, England bound.
I watch a Green Flag van pull away from a space.
I sip my coffee (not free) and spotted a box of red on the floor.
It looked sad and lonely, even unloved. It was a cold wet afternoon.
So. I got out of my van and took the wet and cold box of red into my care.
Yes. One of those.
Oh well not all there.
I didn't post yesterday, as I forgot.
I was trying to work out this.
How could anyone get lime scale or lime paste on a Record 044 plane.
Or worse.
How they hell I did not see it.
@Chillitt The glue is meant to be runny.
@Parm no you can't have a hammer yet.
@slim_boy_fat You have had at least one hammer.
@mrsbruce You have had hammers and sweeties.
@Tinbasherdan You are not getting the Triton.
No, no.

Couple of years ago there was a narrow boat that sunk on the Thames, lucky no one injured, but when the report was made about what caused the boat to sink, it was because the hull had been repaired, but no ballast had been removed, and with three people standing on the back deck was enough for a hull vent to just go under water, obviously it kept going under water until the boat sunk, owner had only just bought the boat and was the first trip.
I'd guess they're probably all coming out the same factory, built to whatever spec and with whatever logo the buyer wants.
It comes with 3 versions of the software for windows, but I don't think it's compatible with GRBL.
I've bought it to put logos on some handles, and the supplied software will do that, so I'm not going to start experimenting. Given the cost, if it breaks, I'll just buy a new one.

MY HAMMMMER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
See I knew it was true what they all said.
If the shaft is loose on the head remove and clean it up then refit.
Wipe the shaft with Meths and wire wool. The grade depends on how bad it is.
If there are scrapes and dings, use sand paper to remove the roughness. A small rough patch will give you a blister.
When the shaft is how you like it.
A good oil will see you right, drizzle oil into the head as well. Or steep the head in oil.
What den did you find my lost hammer in?

Now Now, lets be grown ups here, let not have a temper tantrum, like some/one/many do on here. Then go runing to a Mod.
We can easily solve this.
You give it to me.
I clean it up.
You pay the P&P and I take it to @Parm

shaft is nice and tight
the hammer looks near unused as the head is clean
the shalf is fine a couple of nicks but apart from that was just unloved in a shed
ive not got meths i do have some old white spirt ?
you got to use it a lot for thisto happen and the amout you got you could 1 every day of the year and still never use the same one twice
it was passed to me as helped clear a shed of a mate i recived that and 2 sharping stones in wood covers

The white spirit will do.
But I need more hammers.
But now you can clean up the stones and use them on the wood chisels you have to get.

I can't give one to @Parm For the reason it would mean I have less.
I have stated in the past:
I want more.
But I think one/many/some may report you for being mean and picking on members.

I have a few.
But we will not have a debate about them.
That's a decent roll you got there.
Do you have a honing guide?
