Pen kits from TEMU

[Kenobi]

Hello there!

I have recently purchased a batch of pen kits from TEMU, just to try it. Does anybody know this set? Its basically a Slimline kit, but the central bead is much bigger - I do not have a bushing for that,so Im sorry for slight misfit - done just with a caliper

Looks like a PSI trimline

They are sold in the UK as Streamlines

Price? Shipping?

I got 6 sets for 209 CZK($9.90), thats 34,8 CZK ($1.65) for one set. I usually buy Slimline sets for about 100CZK each,so the price is great. There are other, different sets,too. Also, mk2 mandrells, half the price. A month ago, I bought there 42mm Fostner dril bit I use to make candlesticks. In a hardware store here,it costs at least five times more. I already made 20 candlesticks since, all hardwood, and still cuts like its butter.Shipping is free if the order is bigger than 500CZK(less than $24).

So why am I not surprised? I'll stick with what I know as being reputable and honest.

I did,and... Just a lot of dirt and rummors, also "concerns".. absolutelly no valid arguments. Simple " Its Chinese and China is our enemy, do not buy from them" while the US is the biggest customer for Chinese production at the same time. Plus,Im a hundred percent sure the original manufacturer of kits sold there and by those "reputable" mentioned is the same, same with the quality. Just different trade routes, where you pay extra money just for your good feeling,nothin else. Anyone's free choice,of course.
