... easy to work with all day, don't knacker your hands and if you buy them
off ebay they're cheap enough not to worry about going walkies when some
sparkie takes a shine to them and decides they'd be better off in his
toolbag than in yours. :-D

Looks the same tool as the one Videk sell for =A3120+ (+VAT) - OK they may
well be a cheap copy but if they are they work well for me.
