Nearly double the cost of the clips with tax and postage and the packer can’t spot the difference.
Send me 3 more please Mr.Fox. 😀

That's perfect compared to some pre-cut squeegee rubber I bought a while ago.  Don't know what those guys were smoking that day.

I can’t stick those double ear ones , single ear is so much better for a full seal

Even says 18-21 on the fookin things, they'll look massive in your hand so a complete wombat has packed them.

I ordered a softwash pole valve at £70 last year for a job, turned up to the job and the valve qr couplings were the wrong size. Sent out a new one which hasn't been used in a year, complete waste due to the Packers error.

I find single ear much harder to get off though. Double for me & on ebay.
Stainless Steel as well.

they are easy to get off if you use the right tool and technique.......get your o clip pliers and just nibble the ear bit by bit...itll come off in 10 seconds.....👍

That's what I do Daz. But i still say it's easier to nibble of double eared ones.
