@koendb thanks, I’ll check them out, not sure in duty from Europe now either so might leave me in the same position as stew Mac where the prices are great until they’re taxed to death!!

@jonhodgson I’ve a few tools from Crimson and have to agree they’re beautifully made. It’s trying to balance value vs quality, if I had the money I’d  get everything from them 🙂

@rocknroller912 ok maybe I really lucked out then, I tried exactly that but the ends just weren’t strong enough and dented with each cut.

Downside: they’ll *always* bill you the full VAT & Duty due on the package value.

@tv101 …and there goes them being quite competitive!

@tv101 Thanks, they’re quite competitive to be fair but some things are clearly rebranded Hosco products which I’ve found cheaper elsewhere!
 Any idea where we stand ordering from there in terms of thresholds for import duty etc?

@cheesewhisk ok, see what you mean, I’ll pay extra attention when I get to the same bit.
