Nerrad Jet Swet

[Deleted member 96286]

Just bought the Nerrad Jet Swet kit in 15mm and 22mm. I'm hoping they are as good as they appear on their YouTube video as I intend using them on valve changes on storage tanks and bunging pipes elsewhere temporarily for maintenance. Bunging a freezing cold storage tank in a cold Scottish Winter is not nice and draining down tanks and other low pressure storage vessels is time consuming and these gizmos looked like they'd save a lot of time. Expensive for what they are, but if they are any good, they should pay for themselves.
Any of you lads and lassies got a personal review on these?

I believe you can replace the rubber if it gets damaged ?

Do they fit past the burr left by a pipe slice okay?

They do, because it's a Nerrad ratchet type pipe slice that they use on their YouTube video.

That's good to know, cheers. I can get a 3/4 one for imperial pipe if it works as expected.

Massive price that is, I remember when they first came out. They weren’t made by Nerrad and were around £30.00 for the 2.

It was an American bloke that first designed and marketed them. Like most things these days, the bigger more established companies make the inventor an offer that he/she can't refuse and the company buys the rights to them and then sells them under their own name.

I knew they definitely weren’t Nerrad.

My Nerrads are 100% mine, although cold weather and auld age does have a detrimental effect.

I’m surprised if it’s protected under patent etc, it’s a tool that’s been in use for years.

Has anyone actually used one? I’ve looked at them but already have a tool box full of good ideas that in practice I very rarely use.

Nerrads Versa Funnel is a really handy bit of kit though.

Not for me, space is at a premium.

I used it recently to change a 22mm valve on a HWC. Worked a treat but it's way overpriced for what it is.
The bendy Versa Funnel is another item that's been around for years. Garages and automotive services, have been using them for oil and fluid changes, long before it became a plumber's accessory.

I've got the bog Rothenberger pipe freezer on my shopping list. Its 10 times the price but 100 times more useful IMHO.

I suppose we could make something similar.
Basically just a cylindrical piece of rubber expandable on a bolt between two nuts on a long shaft.
