I have had two problems with rothenberger tools before, each time I have emailed rothenberger & they have sent replacement parts in the post free of charge! Excellent company to deal with! I also got a free goodie bag of flux, permanent pens, laco heat repair epoxy sticks & barrier heat spray!!

Nerrad sent me two new bloody wheels for my pipe slices & both still spiralled!!! Grr

Apparently Gas, you replaced your Nerrad wheels with Monument ones. Wrong width buddy. Buy the right ones next time and you'll be fine.....you'll see.

I have had two problems with rothenberger tools before, each time I have emailed rothenberger & they have sent replacement parts in the post free of charge! Excellent company to deal with! I also got a free goodie bag of flux, permanent pens, laco heat repair epoxy sticks & barrier heat spray!!

Rothenberger probably sent you all that gear thinking that this guy needs all the help he can get ;-)
