I buy Tegara(Taiwan) and TechniksUSA(SYIC,Taiwan) they work fine, actually I prefer the SYIC collets over the ones Marittol sells.
Everytime I order a set from Maritool there is always one or two that are not within tolerance.
ie not the actual numerical tolerance, you have to expand them a lot to get the marked size to fit, wrong.
I had another one where it was marked 1/4" collet, I put in a 1/4" end mill but the threads almost bottomed out before the collet tightened, I wondered if it was the next size collet ie ER16 not ER20.
And their nuts on the ER holders used to fit extremely tight on the collets, hard to get them out, and the collets had sharp corners(bad) which was why, the SYIC collets were better.
Then Maritool must have changed something in their specs, or a run was off, cause I ordered a bunch of new holders and the collets fall out if I turn them over to install, now I have to hold the tool upside down to get it started.
No collet retention.
The last 2 batches of pull studs I ordered were rusted, they thought they may just have that brown shit on them,
but after cleaning them really good you could see it was rust, I returned them, happened twice.
I only buy JM Performance now anyway regardless.
So I buy Maritool, they are great, but its not as great as people make it out to be. The price sure is though.
