Warning for Jula's screw clamps!!!

[norrbottenstorpet]

Did you get in on the action, Jeppeknaster, when Jula in Luleå (assuming you're near Luleå based on your avatar) changed locations and sold off their entire inventory at 50% off? I was too late, but I did pick up a few small items, including Schneider's screw clamps. It's not bad at all to get 50% off EVERYTHING in a store like Jula that has so many odds and ends.

Otherwise, I have the same experiences with everything labeled ANSLUT, the worst of the budget brands.

Don't forget to bring the receipt."

My answer:

"Oh please. I don't keep receipts for staples, which I have purchased on different occasions, for over a year...
If you have any clue about marketing and how to handle very dissatisfied customers, you can do better than offering a 'money back.'"

I haven't shopped much at Jula but became a member of their customer club this summer, and if I log into my pages, I can see all the purchases I've made with them
With receipt numbers and detailed information on what I've bought, so if you're a member, you can probably find your receipts.

60 or 75mm nails, preferably from byggmax as it is soft from the start. A mini polygrip, for example from knipex, gives an initial deformation of the nail which is then improved with the hammer. Doesn't take many seconds per nail.

I don't agree that byggmax nails are worse than others, however hot-dip galvanized nails are always softer than plain ones.

Did you get ahead now Jeppeknaster when Jula in Luleå (assuming you are near Luleå considering the avatar) moved locations and sold out the entire range for 50%? I came too late but picked up some small items, including Schneider's screw clamps. It's not bad at all with 50% off EVERYTHING in a store like Jula, which has so many odds and ends.

Otherwise, I have the same experiences with everything marked ANSLUT, the worst of bargain brands.

I came late too but managed to stock up on Schneider's clamps just like you (even if they behaved like idiots, they're unfortunately too good for me to refuse to shop there... According to a friend who was there right in the morning, it was relatively depleted from the start. Among other things, the attractive machines were gone. Went into the new store yesterday and it was really good. Orderly, way better selection and better premises.

I will never buy another Anslut item again, that's for sure. Furthermore, as someone mentioned earlier in the thread, they have removed Anslut clamps from the range. The shelves where they should be were completely empty. It was the same with Anslut's wall sockets. Completely empty. And that's hardly because they've sold out...

That was more than I knew, thanks for that info. Could be good to know in the future. Unfortunately, it doesn't help me since the staple was purchased before I became a member.

I don't agree that Byggmax nails are worse than others, however, hot-dip galvanized nails are always softer than bright ones

I never hammer in Byggmax nails without protective glasses on. That they are soft in the iron is a matter of habit. But that they are hard in the coating is dangerous for the eyes!

It makes quite a difference since I haven't even pulled the FK yet. I don't plan to build crap for posterity.

You can pull the (flex) pipes as crooked as you want and can between studs, with and without insulation, etc. But sure, the clamp shouldn't damn well crack!
