Agreed, I import most of my spares. I pay less than half the price compared to what it costs here and thats after shipping and duties. Even cycling clothing is a major ripoff. Those materials costs so little per meter, but the finished garments are almost always ridiculously high.

Hear here! Truly so, EG. 

I've bought kit from a couple of LBSs and this kit from an Asian retailer is similar quality. It's done hard rotation in a 6 to 7 day cycling week for more than a year with zero sign of decay:

Only one company that does a red torque wrench with a round head.

The quality on that is awesome????????

No worries, I won't be posting any toolbag pics. Mainly 'cos Michael's stylish Italian toolbag is far prettier.

Yep. I went for the ratcheting head too. It’s quite an upgrade from my previous torque wrench which became woefully unreliable with its clicks - sometimes it clicked and sometimes it didn’t…

Indeed look like excellent quality.  2-16 Nm a bit low though, sometimes need a bit more.
