The bits were wrecked in no time, and they refused the return because it had "obviously been abused". I got a CK Tools one from Farnell for ?20 that was much better made, ratcheted, magnetised, and came with the common "security" bits as well. * PC power supply. Blew up and took an expensive motherboard and CPU with it. Even put a PSU tester on it, which showed the +12 rail at almost 20V! -- "We'll replace the power supply but you'll have to RMA the motherboard and CPU." -- um, the guarantees on those explicitly state that they don't cover PSU faults. This was for a friend's PC, so I ended up footing the bill for the new MB and CPU. * Made-in-China network switch (I'd have got one from CCL but I was in a rush). DOA. To be fair, they refunded that without much effort... Fun. -- Phil. classiccmp at philpem.me.uk http://www.philpem.me.uk/
