Never understood the mirror chrome obsession, I'll take satin every time. Each to their own though...........

That finish is unique to TOPTUL. They call it "Water Satin."

That's why nobody will ever make a living selling TOPTUL in America. TOPTUL has zero understanding of the American market and the American market is just too tough to get into in a serious way without total commitment from TOPTUL and trust me that's never going to happen. This is a time killing hobby for me and will always remain as such. That's reality.

I've said this before, but this guy is right which is a shame because I've been buying Toptul products for over a decade and none have failed. I tried several times to become a distributor. Toptul HQ wanted an absurd amount of up front inventory bought and then, they wouldn't allow special orders of single items--items that one person may want but that are of no use or too expensive for the general customer.

Additionally, I couldn't get someone in Taiwan to understand how a large shipping boat can make it into the center of Oklahoma--we have several ports that allow travel from either coast, and the Gulf, up into Catoosa Port which is ten minutes from my house. I was going to have to drive to California with a cargo truck, and then drive back.

I have never been unhappy with a Toptul product. I just wish they allowed direct ordering like Nepros.net. There are things all companies could learn from the Japanese. I get items from Japan super fast, and any question I have is answered in 24 hours.

Dennis is great to deal with--he's so efficient I get my orders in the mail almost instantly.

That finish is unique to TOPTUL. They call it "Water Satin."

They do make a mirror chrome and it is really nice. That said, I prefer the satin as it ages better. You can tell when a chrome socket has been used day in and day out. Satin--not so much.
