You were lucky to get it out in one....

But big hands up to dave for being strait on the case about this, its nice to see a trader being strait in there an not messing around...

Same happened here, these things are designed with a shorter life so the manufacturers can keep selling them :)

Will be buying another though, these things are really useful for the price, better than standard, no doubt.

Ouch, must have been a bad apple in the batch that one. I've used the same for years and never had a problem with one.
