Tool Holders? Anybody used these?

[ivel03]

the ones i linked were about $1 more per unit however i've had decent luck with that seller/brand/whatever. Some people have complained about the finish or set screws of the import tool holders but these ones seem OK by my standards.

There are a lot of sellers out there hawking goods and some of them are as others suggest - deceptive!

With the shipping it’s about $26 CDN per item
If the shipping was less to Canada it would be a good deal.

You guys are a bad influence. I just popped for 1 pkg of AXA #1 holders. Hope I get four (4) of them! That price $34.15 included shipping.

Shipping to Canada is $39USD!

That is most unfortunate. No similar eBay deals in Canada?

Works out to be $15 per which is pretty good.

My math shows $12.004USD/piece ($48.55 + $11.47)/5 =$12.004 USD per holder.
Assuming the currency conversion is correct on the listing, I get (C$66.67 + C$15.75)/5 = C$16.484 per holder. Or am I missing something?

Using the Xe currency converter, I get $12.00 USD = C$ 16.31. It's about 10% more expensive than you mentioned, but still not too bad.

That's quite a deal if they will easily slide onto your tool post (I've received some that you almost had to hammer onto the post). Even if you have to replace all the hardware, it's still quite a steal.

Yup my quick math was off a bit. Yours is correct. That’s a good price for five holders.

Agreed. Hope they are a tiny bit tight, rather than too loose. I can always open up the dovetail a thousandth or so. Hard to add stuff back.
