I've bought all my extra tool holders from Frank and the very first batch I bought years ago was excellent quality. Even better than the Phase II holders. The last couple of batches I've bought from him are definitely inferior to the first batch. They need some TLC before they can be used and, of course, all of the set screws need to be replaced.
It'll be interesting to see Tom's assessment of the two vendors tool holders.

I have several coming from Jeff including a couple with the V-groove , CHANGING THE SET SCREW AND EVEN MAKING LARGER KNURLED BRASS NUTS(for my big fingers) for the adj screw I kind of look forward to, the set screws on the ones supplied with my lathe are a poor fit with the allen key, perhaps it is just the allen key. I will take measurements + pics when I get a chance as on a cheap item like this 1/2 price is still a big difference. tom
