Thread: AXA QCTP holders

Banggood has been great for me. The big difference between Banggood and Alibaba is Banggood isn't a consumer-to-business enterprise. With Alibaba you take the risk on the individual business you buy from. With Banggood there's an additional layer of abstraction, and it acts more like a 'Chinese Amazon'.

As with any situation where you're buying Chicom goods at low prices, you're taking a punt on the actual products quality. But there's many lines available on Banggood that you'll find at other common sources, and for something like the QCTP holders, I'm pretty sure they all come from the same sources. I've received a couple of dud products - either DOA, or or products that turned out to be garbage and not fit for purpose - and every time they've accepted my complaints no questions asked, and provided a full refund without return of the faulty merchandise.

Banggood is just another aggregator for me. It's not always the cheapest source, and the shipping is never the fastest, but it's always the easiest. If I just need some Dremel consumables, or disposable bits and pieces for the workshop to make my life a little easier, I'm rarely risking more than $5 or $10 on a Banggood purchase even if it does go south, and I'd rather not have to hunt for a deal on $5 worth of sanding drums.

mag-pro.com.au in Melbourne sell the 250-101 and 250-102 axa holders or $15.00 a piece.
Actually most of their tooling is about the same price or cheaper than CDCO

250-101 vs 250-102 if they are the same price would the 250-102 be the one to go for seeing as it comes with the v groove for mounting round tools as well if needed?

It must be made of some very heavy alloy Joe, they say it weighs in at 500KG!! Pretty cheap for only 15 bucks though.
Rob.

The toolholders at M&G are $15 ex GST, ex shipping. Ordering a single toolholder from M&G comes to $26.50 by the time it hits your mailbox.

The Banggood option is $17.72 delivered to your door.

Thanks for clarifying that. I guessed the $15 was too good to be true.

Hi jack620
Postage spoils the deal somewhat.
I see that your location shows as Melbourne
It may be worth your while visiting the mag-pro shop in Derrimut. (if able)
I was there on Monday, I bought a 250-102 for the price I stated.
Cheers
Pete

Depends on how many you buy. Generally you need around twenty.

What do you mean? They get cheaper the more you buy and twenty is the break-even number?

Magpro freight should become cheaper once you buy over a certain number.

Remember virtually all AU sellers just pack things in a standard aupost bag. I bought two LED modules from a Melbourne seller they were 20mm across and they came in a box 150mm by 100mm by 100mm, when it could have been sent in an envelope.

I have not come across many AU based sellers that care about postage costs for the small stuff, it will be a whatever it is say $12 au post 500g postpack regardless of how small the item, then 3kg post bag, then 5kg post bag etc etc.

Looks like those tool holders from Banggood have gone up to $32.27

Bugger, I should have bought 10.

I received the Banggood tool holder yesterday. Exactly the same product as everyone else is selling - came in a brown cardboard box stamped '250-101' in red, sealed in a plastic bag and covered in that god awful Chinese corrosion inhibitor.

Such a bugger, when I realized what a bargain it was at that price I should have bought a swag of them.
