Post by: *paul_moss on December 21, 2006, 09:47:39 pm: I bought a wand from the States a few months ago with one on and it makes a massive difference.
It is a twin jet wand and similar in design to my s bend glide master wand but weighs less and with the soft touch valve is a real pleasure to use.

Post by: craigp on December 24, 2006, 06:22:19 pm: is it any cheaper buying from US ? as i see with VAT and post its about £26 from solutions, where as its $25 plus $7 post approx from US, about £17 ?

anyone done it?

i am being tight arse but gets on my nerves how are prices are sky jacked!
Title: Re: soft touch valve
Post by: calmore on December 24, 2006, 06:58:54 pm: I think the threshold is £18 for import duty etc so double check that the price is under this level.

Also, get them shipped seperately as if you order more than one I think they'll attract duty.
Title: Re: soft touch valve
Post by: *paul_moss on December 24, 2006, 07:17:30 pm: I bought an s bend twin jet wand fitted with the soft touch valve for £104 inc post ( post was £40).
The best wand I have used,light and light trigger.
Title: Re: soft touch valve
Post by: Len Gribble on December 24, 2006, 08:32:49 pm: Bit surprised glide master wands don’t come with this valve, retooling costs I suppose. ;D

Paul

What make of wand and whom did you get it from. (Contact details would be nice)

Crag

It’s always cheaper to buy US side downside warranty even with credit card. I’ve always wounded, how our suppliers get on returning faulty stuff, there costs must be astronomical or are we paying for it. >:(

".......Ed BUT NO THANKS! Take it you are the suppler of these valves to the UK (?)"

Actually, NO, sir. Just trying to HELP in answering a question.

I do know however, that SOLUTIONS,UK has many in stock and do distribute them all over Europe to several large accounts who have been extremely happy with the performance.

Just trying to help. LOL
