Have a read below this email from a customer and tell us....
Is this a case of expectations being too high.
At first it reads like bad news... Then it ends on a different note..
What do you say to a message like this....

Subject: Trade pack
Hello,
A short while ago I bought the trade pack of you for £49.99. And I have have used the 6mm and 8mm bits in 4 bathrooms. Slightly disappointed. The first cuts were brilliant. Then when using them (with the sponge and plenty of water!) but on hardest of porcelain tiles the ends of the cutting surface went blunt. Also I need a new Anti-Slip Drill Plate (the holes gone oval). Which I can’t find separately on your website. I hope you can help me with this problem. Do you do a trade account? I am looking in the future to buy more items of you as I do think this is the best cutters I have used in my bathroom Installations. I install between 20 and 30 bathrooms a year.
Speak soon

=======================
This is what we sent back.
Actually Shaun (you might be suprised to learn!) that works out fantastic value for money as we bill these kits to last “just one project” in fact on the
back of the packs we dumb down the lifespan and claims.
If you look at the packaging you will see above the bar code “This little kit will give excellent results for about one project”
So its a testiment to the hardness of the cores you have that for £49.99 they have lasted FOUR bathroom projects not just one. Even the fact that the guide plate is worn out is proof this kit is providing you with exceptional value for money.
But to get back to your main question.... The answer is YES we have some superb deals on the site for the small cores.
For £99 you get FIVE packs of cores (thats 20 cores) working out at about £5 each.
Not too shabby.
And each pack contains the guide plate too.
Have a read on the ORDER section and see if the megadeal suits you.
Five packs for £99 thats super value and you get lots of guide plates too. £5 a drill.
Also our main deal the bathroom fitters kit that you initially bought and has lasted
for FOUR bathroom projects works out at £7 a drill when bought at £49.99
You just cant buy good drills for those prices especially the larger cores.
If you even look at the project cost then its cost you £12.50 per bathroom to drill even the
most hardest of porcelain. In short we believe you are getting good value.
But of course no drill bit lasts forever. They all wear out. So I think that if you expect one
bathroom and get four then its probably a good product.
Hope that makes sense.

So is this a case of a customer wanting too much. Or does he just not want to buy drills.
Maybe in a way its quite a positive email? Starts off with a moan then ends up contridicting
himself.
