^^ Maybe you guys are seeing similar pricing on the most common jobber sets, but I'm not finding it on the screw machine sets. The group buy prices were:
66490 75.00 screw machine length 1/16-1/2
66850 89.00 screw machine length letter
23560 68.00 screw machine length wire #1-60
whereas the best I see online is $99 each incl. shipping:

Many of us who run machine tools like the screw machine length, as they are a lot more rigid and one rarely needs the extra length.
I would
love to see a group buy on these...
EDIT: the Black Oxide or TiNi versions would be fine, too -- I think most of us who machine are indifferent about coatings (except the guys running production). Definitely prefer the metal cases, though!
