Reading thru the various posts on this company, the general opinion is that their stuff is quite innovative, cheap though you incur high carriage charges, but made of poor grade materials that may or may not last. And some of the products were designed around Chinese made locks/profiles etc so may not be compatible with UK/USA spec locks.

I think the Garrison pick has to be modified to fit UK sections, though i'm not 100% .

the mercedes benz pick looked interesting, the comment about the materials I assume you mean the steel not the aluminum handles, will just make me do what I was thinking when looking at those tools, I'll make one.

I've got the 4060 set. Most of it contains copies of general stuff available in the UK (plug spinner etc) but at a cheaper price.
The garrison pick does work on UK sections, and I think the individual pick is the same one, just with a different ref number.
You will need to make extra (spare) needles for the garrison pick, as the ones you get are fairly fragile.
Other than that, most of the kit is for vehicles, with a few odd bits thrown in for good measure.
The DVD is rubbish though.

It's all about the tension . . .

Anyone know anything about this:
http://www.newsparkling.com.sg/2079.htm
I can't get my head around how this works, and how it handles depth and spacing, etc.. I'm trying to figure out if this is a cheaper alternative to the Pak-A-Punch and if this particular item is for automotive only. Any info would be helpful.

DB, BPC bought one a while ago from the US this seems to be a copy of that or even the actual one, there is a thread all about it somewhere that is perhaps 2 months ago?
I think it simply has measurements for your depth and space info,
Ill have a quick look for the thread for you,

There aren't any prices on the site, do you just use the contact info to ask?

I'm not certain these are the exact same... I guess bpc could tell us for sure. It would be cool to compare these against those which Brockhage sells.

Thanks Shrub.
For those who wish to know, I got an email back from New Sparkling. The product sells for $99, and the shipping cost to Canada was $35. It looks like I'd do better to go with the other one at $90. I suspect shipping will be cheaper too.
