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.
If you buy the tool holders from Shars, they say ""Shars" where the others say "Made in China".
It doesn't change anything but at least it's not in your face all day long.

A cheap rattle can also removes the Made in China...

Maybe "Shars" means "China" in Mandarin?

Being a QCTP you may be able to take the Apple stance and say made in China, assembled in [add your state here]...
