CDCO has the AXA wedge set on sale for $119. That seems too good to pass up, even though I have a piston type unit.

What do you guys think?

Seems to me that CDCO "sale" prices are pretty much every day prices. Just like Enco. It's always the same items in their sales fliers every month at the same price. Chin
I haven't seen it THAT low, but I haven't really been watching.
I got my AXA wedge for $99 from CDCO. Bought alot of stuff from them. The expandable arbors is the only thing I wasn't that thrilled with - but neither has anyone else that bought it from other vendors so it's the product, not the vendor. No complaints whatsoever with the AXA.
I just dug out their 2015 catalog. On page 1....

Wedge Type Quick Change Tool Post Set

AXA: $119
BXA: $129
CXA: $196
I guess I'm behind the times.

Thanks, guys!
Whether or not you "upgrade" is going to be a highly personal choice. If you are having any issues with the piston type, do it. If it's just a matter of being a little more secure and repeatable, you have to decide for yourself if the expense is worth the improvement.
