Didn't realise that site existed, but I have been making an order with the owner recently. Very friendly and helpful, the tools look great and the prices are good. :)

Those are the exact same chinese import tools as harry from skylighter was offering a while ago.

I definatly don't like the brass tooling. I got a pump from skylighter, same stuff though. It scratches way too easily, and is too soft. It dings so easily, and now my pump wont make it all the way to the bottom of the sleeve, and siezes up a lot.

Just a word of warning. Also don't even try to use Ti for FeTi, as they will tear your pump up.

Sorry to hear that Mumbles. I got a couple of bronze pumps from Jared B., very old US made. They seem a lot tougher than pure brass, but they stain a nasty dark color from various chems.

A good source for star pump is a bakery supply store. They have those syringe like things for frosting and such. Very cheap too.

I received my order today. A 14 mm start plate and hemis of different size. It took about a week so it was relatively fast. The hemis are very good quality with thick walls. The finishing of the plate isn't very good, but I think it will make nice stars however. Good customer service and affordable prices, if you don't count the shipping charge. I can definitely recommend this guy.

The page itself looks awful, but I sent him an e-mail anyway. Want to know what the shipping costs for a 20mm star plate to Germany are :)

These tools are incredible expensive here so the cheap chinese tool just might work for me.

EDIT: After two mails and no response even a few days later my dream to get pyro tools cheaply vanishes :)
