Maximiser 3800
CLOSING DATE: Thursday, 30th September 2010
The Oxford Products Maximiser 360T battery charger has been a top seller since its inception in 2007, well now it's had a serious upgrade and is now renamed the Maximiser 3800.

X4 tank 'n' tailer
CLOSING DATE: Thursday, 30th September 2010

Take this superb little X4 tank bag, its name is derived from its capacity - four litres - but at about 12in (300mm) long, 10in (250mm) wide and around the same depth when expanded, it's an exceptionally useful piece of kit which when fitted is not at all cumbersome and does not resemble a small residential care home.
