    The old BAL ones were decent that topps sold some time ago. The pair on the tradetiler site are good ones too though. How much were the ones from wickes?

    A couple of quid I think - can't remember... They have been hammered though, and a bit of WD40 every now and again soon puts them back to A1

    Good for getting around those plug sockets that fall in the middle of the tile and what-not. Never used my pair much. Could have bought these off me.
