Just look how highly polished the HSK one is - I have one on mine and it looks bigger too?

Also the "fitting kit" looks pretty useless.

Not to mention the biggy here - no tax is illegal and if your cought up i'm sure the taxman will have no hesitation in stinging you as well?

Unless they've worked it in to the £15.99 postage and tell everyone there's no tax to pay :-k
