This one has only lasted 2 years,
which is why i was going to use an upgraded one,
I dont really fancy changing them every 2 years

Well, just opted for the Lemforder for the time being,
as i cant seem to find an upgraded one in this country,
and im not having this hold the job up any longer

That looks a bit rounder than the older one :)
