I've got a 4 inch adjustable King ****! My neighbour has got an even smaller adjustable King ****. I've seen it several times! I'll take and post a picture of my King ****.... maybe I can persuade my neighbour so I can take a photo of us both showing off our little King Dicks. :pimpflash

Sales guys with a bad attitude just don't get how it works. Reminds me of a quotation attributed to an old President of France; President Mitterand. He said, " If you want to buy something from us you can speak English; if you want to sell us something you must talk to us in French!"

^^^^ this Also, by the seller's logic, if you buy a brand new car for e.g. $10,000, drive it out the show room, engrave your company initials all over it, would he still describe it as brand new and expect it to be brand new $10,000 worth of car?

Sigh.... not trying to cause a war but your initial reply suggested it wasn't a big deal and the OP could clean all the marks off with brake cleaner. All I was saying is he can't lose the engravings without scuffing it with a disc and I wouldn't be wanting to take a disc to a "brand new...

From the ebay item description: "Condition: New: A brand-new, unused, unopened, undamaged item in its original packaging (where packaging is applicable). Packaging should be the same as what is found in a retail store, unless the item is handmade or was packaged by the manufacturer in...

Lots of good brand recommendations here, BUT..... ........ you may well go out and buy a beatiful set of something he already has a good, workable set of..... nice, but he may really NEED something else. Best bet is to go with the gift voucher from a quality tool store so he can get what he...

I have an odd Kampmann socket also. Think I got it at boot sale in the UK. 17mm. Apologies for crappy pics.

I think it's designed to be used one handed so you don't have to mess around with the business end with your other hand. I've used it a few times and forgotten to not touch the LR thing accidentally so manage to switch it by mistake ..... once I got used to it it was great! Only had it since...

here's a few pics

Hi Automatique, Could you please clarify the Hazet vs. matador for me. i know Hazet Porsche stuff goes for absurd amounts on the auction sites. I agree that some SAM stuff is overpriced. I actually got banned from buying anything else from some guy at a boot sate this year!!!:bounce: I asked...
