Up to a point, lord Copper. Often quite true, but if you look out for
the special offers, and especially their "end of line" lists, you can
sometimes find some very well priced stuff.
And of course, if you need some hard-to-source stuff in a hurry, their
speed of service is second-to none.

If you feel I`m wrong,just say so David.We don`t need the Lord Copper
bit.
I would be interested in seeing some of this very well priced stuff,as
they email me offers which I never see anything special
about.Sometimes they will offer 35% discounts but the price is still
unattractive,so,please tell who you are comparing them with that makes
them look so good.
Mark.
Mark,
If you don't like J&L pricing where do you normally buy your stuff from,
I do like their buy upto 6pm and get it next day service. I've only been
buying things in farily small quantities for maybe 20 years but am
always learning the intricacies of charging structures and often a
cheaper sources of materials is only found by word of mouth. Enquiring
minds need to know.

Actually, I'm disgusted to say that on one occasion I phoned both J&L and
Cromwell about a 7" screw action circlip removing tool that a contractor
needed urgently to get a bearing changed on our computer room emergency
generator (They'd come over from Belgium without a full toolkit).
Having it in stock was far more important than price. But just saying who I
was phoning from (work) got me a 40% discount over the normal offer price,
even though I wasn't the purchasing dept and the contractor was going to drive
over, collect and pay with a personal credit card.
I must remember to try that next time I need something.

Bought some clearance tool tips from them last year at £1-odd each, and
some branded 3/4" end mills, nice Eclipse dial indicator & stand, and a
nice grooving set. Their price on screwcutting tips undercuts Greenwood
by a good margin, and their price on gauge plate is reasonable. May have
been able to find it cheaper if I had infinite time to look around.
David
I got it alright David,I think it`s you that doesn`t.Maybe you should
try more reading.Consider the reason why you were given two eyes and
one mouth.
Mark.
Mark, for goodness sake lighten up. If you got the literary reference
and still got offended, then that is a cause of mild regret, but not an
apology.
This NG has never been a humour-free zone, and you getting offended for
no good reason isn't going to make it one. It has OTOH been remarkably
free of personal insults, please let's keep it that way.
David
It seems that in addition to being Pillington`s spokesman you are now
keeper of the group.Let me tell you I have been posting here a
long,long time and will continue to post what I want,when it suits
me,and,if you`re not happy about it,tough.
Mark.
Because two eyes allows stereoscopic sound reception and therefore the
ability to place the source of the sound, while there is no converse
benefit to emitting speech from two adjacent sources?
So what's the alternative when I only buy the occaisional small tool etc? My
time is valuable and I can't afford to waste it visiting shops or trawling
the internet.

I guess it's horses for courses, and if you find these companies
satisfactory then you are fortunate. I have used RDG and the quality of
their products varies from good to totally unusable, so I tend to avoid
them. I have also used Chronos a few times and found their products good,
but their prices did not strike me as cheap, nor have they the range of
tools that J&L have. Tilgear are new to me, but a glance at their range
seems to me limited.
