Title: Picnic tap, tube & disconnect
Post by: fishjam45 (Colin) on November 09, 2014, 08:43:49 PM
I spotted this on aliexpress.com earlier, just wanted to share it.

€7.30 inc postage - surely to good to be true?

Nice. Might get a couple at that price. Be prepared to wait a very long time for delivery. I'm still waiting on something I ordered nearly 2 months ago. By the time it turns up I'll have forgotten I ordered it so it'll be like a surprise.

Aliexpress are selling coupons too for 11.11 only $10 gets you  $20 http://activities.aliexpress.com/1111_shopping_festival.php my fear though would be when everyone goes ot use their coupon on the 11th it will be ddos :)

I'm pretty sure I've seen some of the gear off aliexpress for sale from an Irish Homebrew Shop.  Have a look at the gas regs
