I bought a pinky poacher on ebay made by " gamekeeper John " it was made out of birch multiplex with double theta and golds and perfect pocket sized. It is also surprisingly accurate and I could shoot it decently out of the box and believe me I'm no marksman.
Thanks for the info about the nuts I have been buying steel ball bearings for catapults at £10 for 50 !

I have two Dankung catapults, both are really good and accurate, well made from stainless steel! Fairly powerful with 2050 tubing as well. The service is great as well, the last one i ordered from china actually came before a band set i ordered from Birmingham!
If it works, it works. And the bands are replaceable with those types so you can upgrade if you wanted too.
I have a black widow and diablo, had them for over 20 years, plenty powerful and as accurate us you can get. The black widow is about as big as you would want to get if you are to carry in you pocket and the arm rest is a bit awkard if wearing a thick coat.
As a 'pads-prat' living in Cyprus the locals taught us just to used a single length of square band and pocket/pouch.
About 1.5-2m long, folded in the middle with the ends tied to the pouch. Grip the pouch in one hand and wrap any slack band around your first two fingers of the other hand, pull back and let go. So simple and very effective. As there's no handle you just wind it up and stuff it in your pocket.
The busy end looked like this: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Catapult-...ng_ShootingSports_ET&var=&hash=item33854aa036
