At the start of the season this year, they were showing signs of rust and leaking. Tesco have refused to refund the cost as I do not have the recipt I am reluctant to take the company to the small claims court because of the cost, but all gardeners should be aware of Tesco's attitude I will probably cut up my Tesco club card and send it to Leahy Are you sure that they are "stainless steel" and not galvanised because= as far as i was aware s/s does not rust Stainless Steel can rust, it depends on the grade and make up of the Stee= l Ballocks! Where did you dig up that load of shite? "SS can rust." Go back to school, ****. In this thread, Mike Crowe knows a hundred times as much as the people who are abusing him, and is being a lot politer. He is entirely correct. Please troll elsewhere. Many grades of stainless steel are merely rust-resistant, even in good conditions, and there is no good reason to make gardening equipment out of surgical-grade stainless steel. But even the best stainless steels will corrode (and 'rust' is a fair term) under extremely hostile conditions, such as largely anaerobic seawater. It's a big problem in marine engineering. The seawater removes the oxide coating, and the residual oxygen then attacks the iron. Regards, Nick Maclaren. |
