That is much cheaper then I paid at WCW.I paid around12 pounds each.

Oh wow, thats a good price. I guess hes finally broken out into the big chain stores, so I can imagine they knocked the price right down and will be aiming to sell in quantity for smaller profits per item. I might even pick up a few as back ups.

Defo get a like for that. I have 3 out of the 4 he makes and the one I haven't got isn't on sale at B&Q :thumbsdown:. Oddly, I was in B&Q today looking at gutter parts, just incase I do a job and need an end cap etc.

The down side to this is Joe Public will cotton on and be able to clear the gutter above his conny by himself without having to call the professionals out :thumbsdown:

 

[rshandyman]

B and q is expensive for gutter parts try toolstation but they do not have all of them

 

[rshandyman]

They are still scared of heights and do not have proper equipment so I am not concerned

 

[Natty1972]

I think joe public doesn't like getting dirty and wet

 

[TolishAPurd]

Yep, when joe public gets up to gutter height, they'll soon realise that its no joke fkin about in gutters no matter how much money it saves them.

Good find @boarcity :thumbsup:

I was wondering how long it would take before progutter tools hit the big boy's shelves. Danny needs a big pat on the back for that one as is a brilliant result to get a product into big retail chains. Will it make Danny a fortune though we can only hope it will as is a great product.

 

[rshandyman]

Shame that these were so expensive- cheap to make= high margin.Now 6 pounds, definitely better.

That's a very simplistic view as R&D and tooling costs before any production run costs at the start must have run into thousands. It takes a lot of bottle and capital investment even to get the simplest product into the market place. Then you have to reach break even point of the investment before you can start to make any profit.

I take my hat off to Danny as he has produced 4 great tools which has made my job so much easier and earned me loads of dosh. Regarding price point I would still pay 12.95 for each tool as they are that good.

 

[rshandyman]

They are good but there are many great products and do not cost that much.I understand business as I am stydying business and like that subject but still charging that much for very simple product is rip off in my opinion.

 

[rshandyman]

I do not charge 100 pounds to clean 3 windows and I have invested few pounds and a lot of time as well.

 

[rshandyman]

But it is simple supply demand and people are still happy to pay 12.99 because there are no better alternatives

 

[rshandyman]

Idea is the most important these days not manufacturing cost.

Each to their own I suppose as obviously 13 squid seems a lot of money to you. Well the good new is now you can get them for 6 squid from B&Q /emoticons/biggrin.png
