    I've bought from Shesto in the past with no problems. Not recently though.

    I have also bought tools from Shesto in the past, they used to have a stand at a Model Engineers exhibition at Sandown Racecourse that I went to each year, these exhibitions are great for buying tools and metals.

    I would try Cousins
    https://www.cousinsuk.com/catalog/eq...-jaw-handpiece
    They are quoting 179.95 plus VAT, but that includes a No.30 handpiece.
    My finger has been poised over the buy button for the past week, but I will go for the quick release option I think.

    Thanks Cathy, that is much better. I too am poised over the buy button now but I don't want the quick release as you are then limited to the one size bits and I would like to use all my old dremel goodies and also the h30 handpiece doesn't require maintenance. I'm sure I will tut when I have to use the chuck but think it's best in the long run for me as only hobbyist so got time to change bits. Cheers!

    Hi!
    I bought mine from Sutton Tools in Birmingham. I went with the quick release hand piece and haven't looked back - it's fab!
    I was swayed away from Cousins as was told they were closing? Not sure if this is the case though...?

    Their retail shop in Birmingham did. You may want to do some searches about their customer service before giving them your money though.

    I do recall calling Cousins for advice and I was told everyone was out at lunch...? Maybe the cheapest for a reason...!
