Bit late fgstf, they were selling it on the 4th Feb. Usually only have special offers for a day or two. :(

Some shops get all the left overs from a particular offer in a region and sell them at a small discount.

It is now currently available in stores as part of the offers for 14/3/2019 which could explain some availability 8-)

If you work in an industrial shop, your tools are likely to change much more than your job title. And the devices you use depend a lot on what you are good at.

mine is chucked in a drawer until I find a suitable method of fixing as the suction just well sucks!

my advice it don't work so don't buy it.

If you work in an industrial shop, your tools are likely to change much more than your job title. And the devices you use depend a lot on what you are good at. For someone who does complicated machining, a good bench vice can be a huge time-saver, reducing setup time and eliminating the need to flip a workpiece. For someone who does assembly work, a good vise can simplify complicated tasks. Anyway, the best stuff I always find only on swindens.co.uk. The guys from there have the best prices on the market, and that's great.

All the Swindens kit is far too heavy duty for model railway usage.
Do you have any link other than customer with them Simon?
