Clamp type knurling tool question.

[Highpower]

Ordered one of these from MSC over a week ago. Estimated ship date given was the following day after I placed the order. It's been radio silence ever since. I contacted MSC today asking what's up? They say it's being drop shipped from the Eagle Rock factory (I already knew that) and now it's going to be a 4 week lead time. After doing some digging on the net, it seems this company doesn't produce any of their products until after they are ordered. One guy wrote that it took them 7 weeks before he got the one he ordered. Now I know why it is so hard to find anyplace that wants to "sell" them. Lesson learned.

Contrast that with the extra knurling wheels I ordered from Accu Trak a day after I ordered the tool from MSC. Accu Trak had them at my doorstep 2 days later. I think I may just did cancel the MSC order and order the Accu Trak tool instead. It shipped the same day. Built like a tank and less expensive too.
