Cyclus pisses me off. There is a huge discrepancy from their "good tools" and their ****ty ones. The ****ty ones you'd see being sold in a dollar store. For example, if you've ever seen there cassette tools:

They look like bargain bin cheap metal that would wear out in 2 uses. The finish and construction does not instill confidence for a tool that would handle shop use at all. They are cheaper than Park for a reason, which may be sufficient for some depending on the circumstance.

For example I would have no problem using their cutting/facing tools knowing that they are *much* cheaper than the park versions.
