Yes. Get thwm from Enco in the US. They have a 20% discount until end of FRiday their time. Use discount code SCHOOL at checkout.

Wholesale tool, the company you linked, does not ship out of the US and they do not take foreign credit cards while Enco does.

Enco will quote shipping after the order...insist that they use a flat rate box medium size if they do not offer it. You're going to be up for about $200 all up.

Thanks Greg I have ordered a set bit on the expensive side but what can you do...... if you want them...... then that's the price.

PS if we are the lucky country and doing so well.... and they are doing so bad, how come we always pay more for our stuff

That, that is a constant annoyance until you realise that in each case retailers charge what the market will bear. Wages in the US have been stagnant in real terms since the seventies. People actually raise families on $20/hr.

There are many European brands that are expensive everywhere except the US for example.

For those of us (ok so maybe its just me) that don't know what they are can someone elaborate? A google only found links to purchase, and no description of what they do.
