mjmurphy926 Posted August 4, 2008 Report Share Posted August 4, 2008 This is from a place called Nam Hing Online. For some reason, I couldn't get the URL to this page, so here is a screen shot. They don't call them Horotec in the description, but the picture is Horotec. What do you think? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freddy333 Posted August 4, 2008 Report Share Posted August 4, 2008 If it is a genuine Horotec set (which sells for $20 on ofrei), it looks like a great deal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heywood Posted August 4, 2008 Report Share Posted August 4, 2008 If I had it to do over again I would buy the Horotec set over the old Bergeon set any day. The Horotec drivers are made with stainless steel shafts versus the chrome plated brass that the older style bergeon drivers use. That's a pretty good price, but Nam-Hing is in Thailand I think, and the savings on the set may quickly be eaten up with additional shipping charges. You might be better buying from a US based supplier-here is a link I had saved for the same set at a slightly higher price http://www.fdjtool.com/category.aspx?categoryID=948. I'm sure you will enjoy this quality set regardless of the source. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

freddy333 Posted August 5, 2008 Report Share Posted August 5, 2008 Sorry, I dont get it ? I purchased a set of similar 'Horotec' screwdrivers from an ebay seller in Hong Kong 2 years ago that showed a similar (but not the same) picture. The drivers looked like Horotecs in the picture & the wooden storage box had a 'Horotec' badge, but the drivers were definitely not made by Horotec. Better?

takashi Posted August 5, 2008 Report Share Posted August 5, 2008 Agree with Freddy. This may very well be a fake Horotec. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
docblackrock Posted August 5, 2008 Report Share Posted August 5, 2008 For EU folks, for the price/quality, you'll be pushed to beat this set from Cousins.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjmurphy926 Posted August 5, 2008 Author Report Share Posted August 5, 2008 Agree with Freddy. This may very well be a fake Horotec. Hmmm... I hope the link that Heywood provided (US company fdjtool.com) is selling real Horotec instead of fake. I just payed about $100 ($89 + shipping) for a set. Great deal if they are the real deal...Thanks Heywood. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
