>:(been buying off a local guy in selby for three years spent a fair bit off cash with him and this last backpack is the last one im ever buying from him, i have always been fair to him n he has just accused me off abusing the backpack cause two switches have stopped working in the space off three months , the real problem is they are cheap chinese crap and its about time we woke up n stop buying this crap off these guys , from now on im sticking to english products >:(ive had trollies off him n pumps broke after a couple off days , i had a trolly that kept dropping to pieces n had em where switches keep breaking , also bought an ro off him n thats a pile off crap, n all he ever says is i havent had any other complaints . Typical seller load off crap. To the guy in selby shove your switches where the sun dont shine >:( >:(

if your talking about john hewitt ive had nothing but good service from him
and backpacks ive bought have always been fine,yep the switches fall apart,but they
do on every backpack i have ever bought including shurflo.
wheni have bought the packs i imediately replace switches for somewthing sturdier

I never mentioned anyone s name

buy cheap buy twice.backpacks are notorious for broken switches/pumps etc.their ok for the odd job but if you want to use wfp day in/day out then you need something better.
ive had a pure freedom trolley for nearly 2 years and it never misses a beat.

my purefreedom trolley was good but greatly overpriced,my packs have given me equally
good service more convenient to handle and at less than £100 far cheaper! ;)

i use the ws packs one speed i simply open bottom of pack,detach the switch from pump
then run some two core 6amp wire from pump up to top of packl attach a through switch
(wilkinsons sell for less than £2) then other side of through switch i attach more two core
down to battery crimp on two spade push on connectors and jobs a good un!

Thats my point you buy english n you get at least 6 months before anything breaks get chinese crap n sometimes you dont even get a day sometimes and the sellers dont want to know

i didnt realise there was any english packs out there fars as i knew they were all
from china mate just with different stickers.
its not so difficult to make a trolley yourself pump shurflo if you prefer decent leisure
battery controller and a sack truck couple of pipes and you have a trolley thats
as good as any of these so called bespoke ones and it would be put together
with a pair of english hands so you have a guarantee of quality and reliability :)

I meant English trolleys like pure freedom

like i said above you can make yourself,even though the freedom is a good bit
of kit it is still way over priced for what is essentially a pump battery hose and
a fabricated sack truck
