In my opinion that is an outrageous price. Arc Euro, (indexable lockable handles) for instance are half that price.

Hi Vick you can try Bonham and Turner local to me a lot cheaper have a look on the web site.

RS always have been at the top of the cost tree. Even when the RS "Catalogue" was a few sheets of paper folded and stapled together, a 1d resistor was 5d from them. Of course, no Tinternet then or "Where can I buy" instantaneous demands.

Regards Ian.

I sourced metal handles for my grinding rest from WDS as referenced by George. Excellent quality and they didn't break the bank.

" RS have always retained lines with a good quality label and dependable supply"

Didn't infer that they did sell cheap goods, just that in many cases, going to the original equipment manufacturer, the same goods are cheaper. That's if OEM can be bothered to sell to individuals.

 WDS were the first iirc to show "Kipp" handles for retail supply.

Regards Ian.

The comments are very unfair to RS Components. The devil's in the detail.

The handles linked to in the original post at £12 are made from Stainless Steel. A more common glass filled nylon version is a more reasonable £2.60

Thank you for the link. I used to use WDS bits quite a lot as a Tool Designer 40 years ago, and I'd thought they were defunct. Glad to see 'em still in there…
