Hmm, maybe not a member spotted 'deal' as opposed to useful tip. Bought some long overdue handles. This brand comes in 3 collet sizes. I also use them to hold rubber abrasive points wheels by their (~3mm) shank, useful for surface cleanup in lathe environment.

Place in Calgary called Kens Gems, but I suspect they are available at jewelry supply places. I have some other tools of that brand name & they seem to be decent quality for the price.

I was going to suggest Gesswein because they online order, but looks like they carry something different

Something like $37 each with taxes and shipping on Amazon!

Nice but super expensive.

Sometimes Amazon can be out to lunch. I checked my Visa, shows 41$ & that included other items with the 3 handles.

I actually have no idea if Kens ships, but you could call them & check

or maybe inquire with EuroTool who the closest distributer might be
