I need a couple each of the above: can anyone recommend a reasonable supplier? and what I should expect to pay (for Acrows 1.8m closed). Decided I may as well buy rather than hire again...
The only local place I can find would be TP - and they're the last place I ever go for anything...
Thanks David
There are also a number on eBay
37.39GBP with the VAT.
so it'll give you a guide to work to,although MM is always dearer than most outlets.
I find in most cases wood can be used instead, its way cheaper. Its annoying if it cant :)

TBH mate, they're not worth buying, given that they are only around £1.50 a week to hire and the acrows are prone to rusting which causes seizing.
Last I heard they were around £40 each inc vat and delivery, and you'll need at least 2, this is £80 without the strongboys...you could hire 2 acrows for
6 months for that or to put it another way, unless you use them for more than 3 months out of every year, you won't even break even until 2009.
Ask your local (independant) hire shop, they might have old ones they want to sell. So cheap to hire I can't see the logic in buying?
Yeah I think you and Phil are right. It was as much about the convenience of having them available when required rather than having to trog off to the hire shop again; but TBH having looked at the Micromart site they are more expensive than I'd been led to believe by someone yesterday IRL (although personally I'm not surprised).

1=2E50 a week? Really? I bought a load off ebay for about a fiver each. ...and they've been in my garage for about a year :-)
