I just received them from Amazon today. They appear very nicely made.

Interesting. How about a link so I can compare pricing to what I get from a local distributor?

Go use them Ed - I'd like a review please

I'll be using them this weekend to work on my mill. I'll let you know how they work out.

Ken,

Here is a link to one of the sets you mentioned in the Good quality chisels and punches thread ... http://www.amazon.com/Mayhew-61050-Punch...91&sr=1-23

If you don't mind, how does the Amazon price compare to the price you were quoted?

Thanks,
Arvid

I only used one of them to start the removal of the roll pin that holds the hand crank onto the lead screw but I assume they would all work the same, which was just fine.

Didn't do a video then!

I've been falling behind. Misc items from the last several weeks.
My new Eagle 66 oil can collection. 
Some wire cleaning and lube pads for the mig welders.
A really nice pair of Starrett key seat clamps. (evilbay - cheap!) 
"General" washer & gasket cutter, and spare blades.
I've just about worn out my pair of med/fine Eze diamond sharpeners, and decided to go with the full-monty this time. 
Finally found a US standard sheet metal gauge at a decent price.
New ground clamp for my tig welder. (Upgrade)
A couple of "Vampliers" for removing screws with stripped out heads.
And a free sample of water based metalworking AnchorLube to try out.

Unfortunately the camera flash washed out most of the beautiful color case hardening in the pic.

Almost forgot (again) -- the non-Fe boring bar inserts I ordered (Amazon) finally arrived after several weeks.
EDIT: And no, they're not polished to a mirror finish like yours are Ed.

Willie,

What are those Starrett key seat clamps used for, other than seating keys?
I don't know what a key seat clamp is, obviously.
