    Default Saw these on Ebay....

    Cheap but not sure I would feel 100% comfortable using one, surely cannot be genuine at that price with free shipping?

    The forum won't allow me to just post "Eh?"...
    Missing a link?

    Hmmm, did add a link but it seems to have vanished,
    it was for a "Smiths Little Torch" from china, about a third of the usual price with free shipping, I was assuming it was not going to be the real thing, but stand to be corrected. I have already tried the power rangers outfit but certain parts of me stand out too much in it....yep, my belly.

    I'd probably be inclined to go with the adage (possibly homily) that "if it seems too good to be true, it probably is". For safety-critical stuff I like to have suppliers within the same jurisdiction. YMMV.

    I wouldnt touch anything other than the official product as its far too risky otherwise.
