I've been a machinist for 15+ years. I have always used the Huot drill indexes. They are the standard. As my shop has grown, I needed to add another tool crib. For half the price (and much faster/cheaper shipping, I decided to take a chance on these. I assumed they'd be lighter weight, with worse slides and probably just a lower build quality. Boy was I wrong. Full disclosure, the labels are a bit of a let-down. Huots come with a plasticized label. These feel like something you can get at the stationary store. For those complaining about typos, my Huots also have a typo I had to fix with a marker, so it's not the end of the world. The sturdiness is, frankly, shocking. These are heavier, tougher and more rigid than the Huot Index. Even if these were the same price as a Huot, I'd recommend them. At the price point, though, NO CONTEST!
