Multifix holder selection

I have the Multifix QCTP set up on the lathe now and started looking for a tool holder to handle all my 3/4" shaft boring bars.
All the Asian Multifix products I looked at seemed to want to sell me a whole kit and I couldn't get a human to respond to my questions about selling one holder.
Then I found these guys in Germany, https://pewetools.de/en/product-category/tool-holders/
He has hundreds of tool holders to handle any tool you can use on a lathe, there are 112 different tool holders alone just for type A tool post.
I ordered last week and it arrived yesterday, the shipping cost more than the product.
It is very well made and it not only holds the 3/4" shaft boring bars but also the 1/2" as well which is a nice bonus.

He carries a sweet holder made for a ER16 collet holder.

I am very happy with my Pewe tools multifix as well. But my rear tool post isn’t because it might be redundant now. Peter’s charges for shipping from Europe were very reasonable as well.
