The laugh I added to your post was at myself for not trying the magnet...... I'll give that a whirl tomorrow.

@Susquatch, and what did your trusty whirl magnet say? LOL

Hopefully tomorrow morning.

Steel of some kind.

I'm still not impressed. But I'll prolly keep them.

The sliding block wobbles as the screw is tightened. Ordinary 60 degree threads on the Leade screw. Fit and finish is poor. But they were not expensive.

The Bosche has Acme threads and it's smooth as silk with solid fit and finish. But Amazon doesn't seem to have them anymore.

So I'll prolly keep the KBC handles for now.

OK, but fair is fair.

The KBC 11 & 12 are $30 & $95
The 11 is 3/8 to 1
The 12 is 3/4 to 1-1/2

My Bosche was $63. It is 1/2 to 1-1/8 which is halfway between the KBC #11 and #12. Coincidentally, so is the price. So I think it's reasonable to say that you get more for your money with the Bosche. Unfortunately, they don't seem to be available anymore.
