Expensive tool porn

[Tim Nott]

Just got the latest catalogue from Dick tools in Germany

http://www.dick.biz/dick/product/705692/detail.jsf

473.60 euro and it doesn't even pull nails

Mind you, they do seem to be giving these away

I wonder why?

It is a pretty little hammer but who in their right mind would pay £372.98 for it. As you say though, you can be a "Dick Head" for free.

Hi,

I am tempted to order a hat :lol: the price is right

OUCH!!!

 

[thejhw]

They accepted my order for a free cap with free p&p.
I'll just wait to see if it's big enough now! :roll:

 

[filsgreen]

Would you want Dick written on your head though?

 

[thejhw]

I suppose if my name was Richard it would be OK?

Better Dick on your cap than a golfing friend of mine who got a free hat with Big Bertha on when he bought clubs of the same name.
Thing was he was 18 stone if an ounce & about 5` 6"!!! :shock:
Some folks will wear anything if it`s free. :lol:

Got my catalogue on Thu. too - Have placed a few orders with them, very efficient English speaking sales desk, and very quick delivery. So far nothing has been 'out of stock' but like some have mentioned their prices are at the top end.

They are not all that far away from me so have been considering doing one of their courses would be interested to know if anyone here has been on one and what they thought about it.

I knew I'd get a mention sooner or later. :lol: :lol:

Rich.

 

[thejhw]

I have even less hair than you, Rich, (in fact *none* on top), :? #-o so to keep the scrapes down baseball caps are the way to go. British wool caps are too heavy and warm.
So at 6 to 15 quid each, when the opportunity comes of getting a freebie I'm for it!

They accepted my order for a free cap with free p&p.

Me too, but a pro-forma invoice arrived today, showing the price as 4.96 Euro excluding VAT, plus shipping, goods to be shipped on receipt of payment. Not surprised, really.

Update: When I wrote back, saying that they had accepted my order at the "free" price, their reply was:

"There was a mistake on our website and therefore we sent you a pro forma invoice. We already cancelled the invoice. Thank you for your understanding."

Ray.

 

[thejhw]

Yes, the same here. 13.32 Euros is more than 10 quid at the mo, so I politely refused their offer.
They must think we're a tight bunch of old gits!

Jim,

You ordered a hat that you assumed they were going to give you free. And pay your P&P for the honour.

They don't think you are tight gits, they KNOW you are what the hat says on it :wink: :wink:

Hi,

£10 for a hat that says Dick Tools cheap I thought, the only thing I have seen that is funner is a tshirt from The Spunky Skunk toy shop http://www.mendocinoconnection.com/blog/?p=139
but they didn't do adult ones and my son didn't want one.

Hi Lurker. I don't think I would ever be seen in public in *any* baseball cap, never mind this one, but as I only wear them to stop the scuffing action of wood on wood, it wouldn't matter.
I only wanted this one because it was free: otherwise they're £4 in the market. So I was never going to be *that* much of a Dick!

Jim
