Only Quality Tools Closing Down - PB Swiss Supplier

[nezzman]

I have just seen on the Only Quality Tools website that they are closing down.

There goes my source for PB bits.

Anyone know anything about this, or another source for the 2 inch PB Swiss bits. I have been using the bits for a year or so now, and am tempted to put in an order to stock up a good load of the ones I use most, mainly PZ2. I just use the PB bits at home, too expensive for work use.

UK guy here btw.

Damn, that's a shame. I've used them quite a bit. Strangely there were quite a few items PB Swiss made that they didn't list on their site. Certain screwdrivers i had to source elsewhere.

Before them i used a guy called Michael Merta:

I have noticed that too.

I might hold fire on ordering anything, and see if I can find any other suppliers. I have all the screwdrivers I want from them, it's just bits, but there is no real point bulk ordering bits, I will just have to find another brand of bits to use or another PB supplier, I do like the Makita gold bits, that is what I used before PB bits. I have 5 or 6 PZ2 PB bits in my box anyway, enough for at least 5 years of home use, and 2 of every other bit, so I am kind of just panicking incase I can't get them anymore!

He’s been reducing stocks for a while, so I’m not surprised.

At the moment there are some huge discounts on some items, less so on others. I imagine it depends what his stocks are. There are some superb prices on Vessel Megadora screwdrivers, but sadly not the Powergrip.

Ordered a few bits while I could, including those 4 vessel screwdrivers, because I have never had any of those before.
Bahco 100 pack hacksaw blades are £33 something ex vat, which is a good chunk less than the going rate.
Bondhus hex key sets are a little cheaper than generally found, but they are pretty inexpensive anyway.
Kopex 22mm pipe slice is £5 something ex vat which is ridiculously cheap for those.
Starrett "Stanley" blades are 50 pence for a 50 pack, they are a slightly different shape but usually fit utility knives.

I ordered the vessel screwdrivers myself, though I ordered the 1-3 PZ and the PH2, along with the EU vessel flat blades (4 and 5.5 if I remember correctly), and a few insert bits. £25 in total, very reasonable.

Sadly not long before the door finally closes - 13th November it says on the website - I’m another who has used them no problems.
