Hello all.

    Living in one of the most southern cities on the planet makes it
    hard sometimes to get the tools and supplies I need. We have one and
    a half tool shops in our whole country. I make regular trips to Los
    Angeles to buy tools because the selection and price is so much
    better than what we are used to. 

    I have been looking for an alternative for supplies in between trips
    and decided to try Rio. 

    Over the years I have seen good and bad reports from various people
    about Rio Grande on orchid. 

    I have just received my second shipment. I am very happy. Both
    shipments were in my hands within 72 hours which is pretty good
    considering it had to come over 7500 miles and all items were exactly
    as I wanted. Price and quality was good. Looking at the online
    catalogue it appears their selection of gravers and burs is not the
    best, they dont appear to have Vallorbe HSS graver which I use alot
    of and they only have Busch burs which are twice the price of
    dentsply. 

    Does anyone think Busch is twice as good as Dentsply ? I not tried
    them in a while 

Thanks
Phil
