Title: Absence of perspective.
Post by: Johnny4428 on January 22, 2025, 02:08:34 PM: This is mildly amusing. Without the appropriate part number and without perspective I purchased this off eBay a wee while back. The one at the top of the pic was intended to be replaced by the one at the bottom of pic. 😂 Anybody want it?

They were tiny things for a Dremel, I was a bit miffed but have used them for working in confined spaces.

When they arrived they were massive, exactly the same shape as the UK part but a lot bigger. It was my fault for looking at the eBay photo, not registering the part number was different but thinking they were correct so I was stuck with them!
