So what do we think of the latest craze and the fear and panic it is currently causing!!

We are a British Van Accessory Manufacturer and we exhibited at the recent Toolex/Tool Fair at Coventry Ricoh Arena a couple of weeks ago. We were visited by a large number of electricians and most were surprised to see that we manufactured a LINED pipe carrier. The message was that they didn't...
