That looks like the Accusize tool set I bought a while back. Betting they're from the same factory! Is the case black?

I use my various broaches pretty regularly; a great tool, even if it's not a daily driver

I bought the 10-10A set a few years ago. I think it was less than half the current price. At the time I wasn’t sure of the quality. In the past I’d only used Minute Man broaches and was very satisfied with them
I’ve done dozens of keyways with the Shars set and they also seem to work well.

Yes it is a black case, this is a Shars set, likely made by the same folks...

KBC & Zoro Deliveries
Purchased 3/4" & 7/8" Hyde "Industrial Hand Knives" from Zoro with last week's 20% off email deal:
Plus some more Machinists Jacks (to get over $50 free shipping threshold):
And my backordered Expanding Transfer Punches & Thin/Mini Sine Bar arrived 2 months earlier than expected:
Heard about punch set here, and the baby sine bar here. After @FOMOGO's post, KBC sold out ("some guy posted about them and we got about 150 orders") and they didn't expect to get my order filled until August. When I learned about the sine bar (at $12 I had to have one) I called KBC and they added it to the open order, so the exorbitant $16 shipping was spread out over a couple of items.

$16... not so exorbitant... normal...
Are those striking knives?
I do like those centering transfer punches.

Similar size/weight packages from McMaster ship for around $8.
Not striking knives; used by plasterers & drywall installers, but also for general purpose: relatively stiff, sharp blades.
Haven’t used the punches yet, but think they’ll perform as well or better than the individual punches in sets.

Just remember McMaster is relatively local to you. KBC is not.
