Re: Re: Quality ? At some price
To be utterly fair, when I e-mailed Stanton about buying apair of these utterly superb bits of kit, they told me that carriage to the UK was $75!!!!!!!!!!!!!
So, by the time you add VAT and import duty, the cost was sky high.
I was going to buy some from civil but I was able to have some delivered to my son who is studying at Yale and he brought them back in his hand baggage.
Notwithstanding how I got them, I have to reiterate that hese are quite beautifully made items. Good clean casting and machining and excellent finish.
