THat is for me just ordered a set 70 bucks plus freight from E Bay in Australia Ausee the firm. For pens is great dont try the big sizes on metal it holds button dies and taps.

Just saying.I had a holder simpler version used to be a tech exercise for apprentices of fitting and turning I picked up and have mislaid they work like crazy.
