I bought this set of tools on Ebay for $29.95 plus shipping. This set was recommended by several experienced aquascapers. Also, its the same set sold by a notorious online retailer. I have seen several posts that most people do not like their service. However their tools seem popular. The Ebay set is much cheaper then buying from the online retailer. I have been very happy with the complete set. The scissor is very sharp, over the entire length of the blade. Also, I thought I would like my fine point tweezers, that I bought from another source, better then the wider point tweezers in the set. However, I think I use the wider point ones more often.

Check your local Hobby Lobby, the same section they keep all of the beads and similar items.
