Door skinning tool - how f'ing much £?!!
Turbo Mini Forums

Bit pissed off

My old man has a nice old snap on one with 2 conical offset rollers that you ratchet along the skin edge to bend it around, and then the other crimps it firmly in position, its been kicking about unused getting in the way for the last 10 years, but can we find it when we need it? of course not.

So I bought one of the pliers type off ebay for £45, never showed up, so after 2 weeks of messaging through ebay getting no responce, the ebay seller sends me a notification to cancel the transaction as he hasnt got any in stock, and refunds my paypal money.

I thought fair enough, but a bit of a BAC for wasting 2 weeks without so much as an apology, so messaged him to this effect then the twat emails me (outside ebay) to a lnk to the same product in his ebay shop, but with a new price of just under £80

Well I let him have a piece of my mind good and proper.

Anyway, still looking for one, and tbh cant believe how much these go for, they seem to range between £60 and £100 for what seems a really basic cheap tool

Im going to take take the garage apart tomorrow to try and find my old mans one, but failing that, anyone got one i can borrow/buy or steal?

Got one you can borrow sykes picavant plier type, guess the postage shouldnt be too bad.

Failing that a hammer and dolly works to good effect aswell.

I got mine from Machine Mart - was around £40

Also just remember about seeing them in machine mart, not too bad a price: http://www.machinemart.co.uk/shop/product/...ing-accessories

seen them on machine mart, but try and order one though! can only add to wishlist?

advantage, thaks for the offer (pm'd), ill be doing 4 doors in total, so hoping i wont have to resort to the old fashioned way!

Frost do one as well if its any help.

If it doesn't work out with advantage998 I also have sykes pikovant one (got it for a tenner of ebay ) which is there if you need it.
