Weeeel thankee John,
I thought the idea sounded rather idiotic, but I have seen some idiotic
inventions before so thought only the worst. We may have that sort of
cordless kettle over here, but most everyone I know uses instant tea so no
need of a kettle as we drink iced tea .
What type balls do you use in your loco hand pumps that have to be loosened
with hot water?. I use stainless steel balls and springs and have never had
them stick or at least I don't remember it happening. At my age, one
frequently forgets things, but my lovely wife does not let me forget the
important things..
Oh in case someone out there does not know where to get stainless springs in
small sizes, the springs used in hand sprayers (window cleaner, etc) are
almost always stainless since they have to live in a chemical environment.

Jesse,
It's that seperation by a common language again!
Whilst cordless tools are battery powered, cordless kettles in the UK are
mains powered. It's just that the kettle sits on a base which has an easy
connect/disconnect plug and socket. The power cord goes into the base. The
advantage is that you don't have to trail the lead around when you boil a
kettle of water to free off stuck balls in the loco hand pump!
