Same here... After reading Mark and Chris's comments I will deffinitely be thinking Stubai for full sized tools. If you guys are following this post then please accept my appreciation for piping in and providing such reassuring information.

Hey Everybody,

Thanks to everyone who has replied to help answer my questions.

Thank you particularly to Al for contacting the Whillocks and to Mark and Chris for taking the time and effort to reply to my query and for providing such clear and concise information about Stubai tools. I have tremendous respect for a company and people who stand behind their product. I am really impressed and I am convinced that the tools I examined are not representative of the quality of the Stubai line at all.

While I did not purchase any of the Stubai tools that I am examined, I probably will purchase several tools very soon and will likely purchase them from the Whillocks.

Thank you, again, to everyone. This is a really great forum with really great people.

Michael

I have about 15 full sized Stubai tools, they all look fine to me. The grinds were all done well. The fit was also ok. The only company I know of that sells tools ready to use is Flex Cut. There are probably other companys out that have pre sharpened tools but I don't know who they are.
KEEP BARKIN !

Hello,

I have owned Stubai tools for several years and have only experienced the finest in quality. In addition, you will find no finer people to do business with than the Whillock family. The tools + the people = the best. period.

Thanks,
Daniel Heine
