It doesn't help when you page "GOOGLE" Hooben UK, because you are directed to a Medical equipment maker and supplier DOHHH. :lolno:

Tom, the frustrating thing about the "DKLM" site is that I know they have an extensive range of different top quality upgrades of all sorts but for the life of me can I find a complete list ?
NO.
I have a number of their products but few of them are in plain view, if they were I would spend more money with them.

why not buy it direct from Hooben? just mail them and ask for a current cost plus shipping cost.

Always found hooben a bit iffy to deal with, prices from them are about the same as other sellers so I figure you're better off buying from the place with the better customer service

DKLM certainly get my vote. Only purchased a couple of times from them so far but delivery times have been very impressive and the quality of products seem excellent. I agree though their website is far from intuitive or accessible - its easy to not find stuff and they really need to look at this I think.
