Amazingly, grab rails like this are the one bit of kit for the disabled
which doesn't get a silly mark-up. I fitted a couple to my horse van to
make it easier to clamber in the back.

Because they're sold for what they are - tubes with screw holes. Which is
why you pay VAT on them.

The ones I have bought have been quite nicely engineered, perhaps
because of the bad press if they gave away. But I still think they don't
attract the customary mark-up (perhaps because they are mostly sold to
savvy buyers).
