It's $7.95 for a pack of 2 not $7.95 each.

I doubt you will be able to get them anywere else. When did you get them for $4.95 a pair? I have been getting them for 5 years and have never seen them that cheap. I just got some last week for $7.95 for two they are always sold in packs of two. Wish I knew of a cheaper place to get them myself.

How much does it cost per job to run your tools and consumables? Mine work out at about 50p or $1 per repair this is averaged across the year. I find a better way to save money is to drive a more economical vehicle.

I think post #7 may need to moved to a different thread, sense it has nothing to do with the question in this one.

My point is, the overheads for this business are very low compared with many others. Give the guys like Glasweld a bit of profit, spend your time and effort finding one more chipped screen a week rather than worry about a very few cents. Give the manufacturers a break without them you would not have had a business in the first place, now would someone like to answer my question. There seems to be a lot of sniping on this forum that was not around a few yeras ago.

The cost for me for this one seal is around 100.00 a year , that's for 7 injectors changing them about every 3 months or as needed. 7x3.98=27.86x4=111.44 to be exact. I know this isn't much, but saving $$ is one of the hats I have to wear for my company. If you watch out for the pennys the dollars will take care of themselves. Oh! by the way I do buy alot of supplies from Glas-Weld. I have seen this type of seal in other applications such as a low pressure garden spayer pump. Just can't seem to manufacturer. Thanks for your help.
