Afternoon all,

Does anyone know the contact details for a Blue Point tool supplier in either Reading or Woking areas please?

I've managed to snap the tip off one of the changeable ends on a pair of circlip pliers that a friend lent to me - obviously it's down to me to replace it. I guess they don't make them like they used to - more snap off than snap on!

Tool is branded as Blue Point which comes up on the SnapOn catalogue here Blue Point PRH57

Ta,
Steve

i believe plue point is snap-on budget range

i would try your local garage, kwik fit etc etc as they will either know the number for the local snap-on mobile van or will know when they usually visit.

Hope this helps

I'm pretty sure you can order direct from the snap on website. Or the website should have info on your local franchise.

I'll remember to pint this out to my mate when I return them to him! smile Shame it's me buying the spare bits!

Ironically, after his broke, I rooted around in the bottom of the tool drawers and eventually found an old pair of Laser circlip pliers (probably £3.50 from Halfords some years ago) - they did the job without snapping!
