Too good to be true? - Roadracer_Al - 11-19-2015
Does anyone have any experience with this 5-pack of tool holders?

I've been wanting new tool holders, and these seem like an impossibly low price -- I don't think I can buy the material for that. Same seller also offers 10 holders for $200, which would probably be just plain gratuitous.
I figure that if they're too soft and getting buggered up, I can always case harden them.

That's just cheap Chinese crap, which means they'll be harder than a whore's heart already. The same thing from CDCO Tool is $11.00 each plus $18.00 for shipping 5 pieces or $22 for shipping 10 holders ($132.00 total), so a better bargain and a better-known entity.

I was under the impression that CDCO sold mostly if not all import stuff.
Without the Prime shipping, CDCO has a bit lower price, you're right.

The link you posted is import stuff too. Why not just get it cheaper.

Fair enough. Anyway, I need a new catalog to peruse.... Enco circulars are getting boring. :)

Get one from CDCO and Little Machine Shop. Both will keep you entertained for a while.
