Does anyone have any experience with this 5-pack of tool holders?

http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00S55J8D2/ref=...GYMCHZU4SZ

I've been wanting new tool holders, and these seem like an impossibly low price -- I don't think I can buy the material for that. Same seller also offers 10 holders for $200, which would probably be just plain gratuitous.

I figure that if they're too soft and getting buggered up, I can always case harden them.

That's just cheap Chinese crap, which means they'll be harder than a whore's heart already. The same thing from CDCO Tool is $11.00 each plus $18.00 for shipping 5 pieces or $22 for shipping 10 holders ($132.00 total), so a better bargain and a better-known entity.

I was under the impression that CDCO sold mostly if not all import stuff.

Without the Prime shipping, CDCO has a bit lower price, you're right.

The link you posted is import stuff too. Why not just get it cheaper.

Get one from CDCO and Little Machine Shop. Both will keep you entertained for a while.
