Does anybody know if they sell Models? Not the leggy blonde sort, but the sort that come in a kit or diecast?

Sadly they are not that cheap in Costco. Master Eltax is in pampers size 4+, they are currently 152 for 19.97 or close to that.

Jim Jnr sports Aldi Size 4. Around 9p each, I think, and very good.

But I'd swap her into Pampers for 4p a time with a second thought. 4p a time. Bloody hell...

Anyone with half a brain would spend the extra £2 and get a lifetime returns from Costco regardless of it failing.

If it did fail, you may only have half a brain.

Clarke are really quite good.

The website isn't a catalogue of what's available in-store.

Check the heights of the stands, the Clarke ones are higher minimum, and if they're the same ones I have are a bit too high for me working on my car. If I hadn't bought a smaller set before Costco started selling theirs I'd have bought a set myself.

Also, the Clarke ones cost more once you add on the £4.99 postage from Machine Mart
