[steve-the-hat]

I'll probably be going tomorrow.

 

[Mark_Burgess]

Will be there at some point, I will be one of the many perving on the Aurora Girls pretending to be interested in lights!!!

 

[HandySparks]

I'm planning on going tomorrow (Friday).
To those who have been today, is there anything in particular worth seeing? Any unmissable offers?

 

[dingledong]

we'll take that as a no then maybe i wont go after all

the retro fit led lights are getting better, there was also a nice pipe bender that will do a 180 deg bend in one hit, the bgb is available at £55.00 got to look at some led's on a roll for undercab lighting that looked good

other than a bit of perving that was about it.

other than i found out that the new type of led down lighters are not made to be removed once fitted, which is why they have those awful strong springs on them, they say its to meet fire regs.

The green OSG £17 and as above the BGB £55.

The bosch stand has no decent savings, the L-Boxxs are at least £9.00 more!!! Than the D&M toolshow, the company that Bosch are there for don't give discount of a worth while amount, so sod them.

Got some decent price wagos, and good price wagoboxes.

Some workwear going cheap.
The guys selling CKtools will give a good price as they do not want to drive home with any stock after tomorrow.

Aurora Girls dressed in bright green and hot pants, a change from the usual blue (nice blond there)

Wiska had on display some good glands for SYflex that I had not seen before.

Was it worth going?
Probably just about.

Glad I live reasonably close so I won't be wasting too much (earning) time!

A better exhibition than you had feared, wasn't it Murdoch?
I came back with a strange translucent rubber thing for catching dust when using a holesaw on the ceiling (DADE), another dust-catching thing for my Armeg backbox hole cutter, and a copy of the Amendment 1 On-Site Guide. Then there was all the free stuff: bacon roll (decided it was best eaten there and then), T-shirt, meter box keys, adhesive, LED lights, Hager MF juct box, etc, etc

Been using a DADE for ages, bloody good they are, if I ever manage to kill mine I would not hesitate to get another!
