[QUOTE="ClassicBiker, post: 110599, member: 1632"] Maybe it's just me, but I would rather spend a bit more and get a quality tool, even if it's for a one off, rather than risk ruining a job and having to start again. "Don't spoil the ship for a ha'porth of tar." was what both my parents used to say to me anytime I tried to do a job on the cheap. There is a place near me called Wholesale Tools. They have a huge catalog of machine tools, cutters, taps, dies, reamers, drills, etc.. The stuff they sell comes from all over, the U.S., Japan, China, India, what have you. I try to buy stuff made here in the U.S. but some times I can't get what I want or it is ridiculously expensive. The catalog indicates that which is U.S. made and that which is imported, so I've developed an order of preference when buying imported. After being made here I'll look for Canada, U.K. or Western Europe, Japan, then finally China or India. What I have noticed is a brand called RDX is decent and reasonably priced. Steven [/QUOTE]
