Yes and as it's a forum I can share with you that I can no longer reach the ground and advise you I fell off at the traffic lights....

Whats the approx size of the width of the end bit? Just wondering.Here's a closeup of a nozzle which was overfuelling so much, it was undriveable (it was a fun experiment). It took nothing more than a wipe with a tissue to clean it back to near-shiny steel

tip of the nozzle is only around 6mm in diameter IIRC - tiny little things 
My camera struggled to even focus on it

So peeps who recondition them... what do they actually do? Clean the end and pump pressured liquid through at the correct pressure to check the spray pattern/force is correct? If it's incorrect I can't see there's much they can do other than changing the tip. I would expect the high pressure fool passing through the small holes would carve the hole out over time/use.
There is so much more to an injector than just nozzle holes. I don't know why folk put "products" into the fuel when they have no apparent injector issues, especially as it seems to me that it's generally accepted that all these products have no data to prove their claims.
If you have injector problems there is only one solution, get them sorted by a professional company who have the equipment to test,repair and recalibrate.
I'll second that. I changed my injectors recently and decided to take one apart just for fun. I was a tiffy in the Navy so trained to do machining, fitting and electrical stuff + 30 years civvy engineering experience. I took the injector apart, marvelled at the engineering involved and thought 'nope' can't do this at home.
They really aren't worth messing about with unless you know what you're doing.
