Just delighted at my present to myself this Christmas, although I had no idea how to get them from Amazon. Thankfully my wife is more capable with this purchasing process. .We rarely buy off the net but on this occasion it would have been rude not to. I have had 2 litter pickers/reach sticks, purchased over 15 years ago at I think £12.50 each from a medical shop. They have been very handy but both broke last month.
I was amazed to see on the line that I could replace with very similar , both have magnets but the new ones no hook bit.
The amazing thing is that they sell these in a pack of 4 - for £12.95 !!! Including delivery !
My point is how the hell do they do this, made in China obvs. In truth having been in business for myself for 35 years I tend to have a reasonable view on how much things cost to manufacture……unlike our kids and many friends.
Even if the Amazon driver got 80 p of the cost, it is very amazing. Yes it’s an inch shorter and the Ali is a mm thinner - it’s still amazing. Oh and someone made profits at all aspects of its manufacture transport , etc etc.

Oh and my point is why can’t someone in China make a very close knock off of a CX Morgan and what would it really cost to manufacture in that land !?
Best MM
PS sorry but I have 2 spare and wondered if I should use them for our £15 max spend Secret Santa present. 2 look worth £15 quid ?
I’ve bought 2 off 5 litre painted canal style watering cans at £15 also for Secret Santa presents - we have a few Christmas dinners to go to…..
