**Some bad news on the Hongia burrs folks...

I was contacted today by a US e:friend who had seen & recently ordered from the Qtools catalogue supplied a few pages back. He forwarded the reponce from Qtools to me, which explained that they were no longer able to supply them.
I wrote to Gary personally to find out what was going on & it seems that Big-Biz has struck again. The main dealership store that once held the monopoly on the Hongia brand in NZ had heard of J&G venture & put pressure on Hongia to stop supplying them... bah! I hearby swear not to deal with this company any more & will find other burrs elsewhere once my stocks run dry... phooey!

I told Gary & Jen I would pass this on so people know to not order...

Thanks to those who did support them across the miles & got a good deal in the process (I just found an old packet from 'the other place' & Qtool retailed for $2.50 the same burr that cost $8.25 at ...)!! Damn the Man.

A sorry day for free enterprise...

Tama :(
