But that's a bog standard one…

Looks rather luxurious with the soft paper, should have Izal or newspaper.

I bought one of these a few weeks ago – went to use it for the 2nd time and it's broke. So I would see it quite a few times while you can still get a refund to check it's going to be OK. I've applied for a refund and should get one or another one sent out. I'm having no luck recently buying stuff!

That'll be another trial and error purchase then.

The problem is I don't have tens of thousands to buy a high end version of all the stuff I use so will be ordering another cheapo as I'll get a refund for the damaged one if that breaks as well I may start wondering but I can't be that unlucky can I?

I bought a 300mm digital caliper new for £18 which needed the zero button pressing 10x for it to zero. I got a refund for thatbought another from a diferent seller and that works perfectly in my Z axis DRO.. still only cost me £18 but is a bit of a pain chasing refunds sometimes… you have to be dilligent.

Sometimes you can buy expensive stuff and that doesn't work either £70 for and ER20 collet set – no good but has been refunded.
