It didn't even cross my mind to mention the odd way the makers have fitted the batt connections! Doh!

Yep, if there's a liguid 'bridge' between the two sensors, it will fire the mod if the master swtich is on.

Thanks for the advice Hifi - it's sorted now!

Soooooo sorry mate.

Return them both mate and I'll sort it for you. Perhaps the LED batch is iffy...

As long as you grip the very end of the battery (by it's outer cover and not the battery itself) you'll be ok... I dremel mine in the living room!

The easiest way to get the connector out Kat is with a Dremel.

First, flip off the light-up tip with a small screwdriver, gently pull out the tiny circuit board with tweezers or pliers. If you're really careful, you could use this again as it holds the miniature led unit (if not, just bin it!).

Then grip the end of the internal battery and pull it out. It might need a little force but you're going to bin anyway. Try not to damage it too much in case you cause it to short circuit, heat up and burst into flames! If you're lucky, it will come out with the front end circuitry in tact. If not, it doesn't matter.

Now make a cut across the tube about an inch down from the connector end. Cut about halfway through the tube.

Then cut from the centre of the cross cut, along the tube length to the connector. Cut all the way through the tube at the cross cut end, getting shallower towards the connector. At the connector end, be careful not to cut through the connector, just make a good score in the tube.

Now push your pliers into the cut near the crosscut and twist the tube open. This will free the connector. Remove it and discard anything you don't need or want.

Takes longer to type than to do (takes under 1 minute) and now you have a connector to play with!

Could everyone relax a little?

I only posted to say how fast they are. I've ordered from them twice and have been impressed both times. I fully accept that my experience may not be everyones but I just thought I'd let people know.

Hugs for everyone!

I haven't looked yet Scylla but my first thought was would a lipstick holder be big enough?

As for the Derringer thing... I like that... and could source some very similar parts for it!
