Damn, they're expensive!!!

For that size cable I make them with 6 set screws on the cable. Big Power if you are running that size. I named mine "Big Dog" for a reason. :)

I own one of the Mach 5 couplers. I will say they are great quality. It also helps to file a small flat spot on the soldered part of the flexshaft that the set screw will touch.

Blimey! £25? What are they made from, titanium-plutonium-gold-kryptonite alloy??

It takes a small shop machinist a while to make these couplers. Time is money. If you farmed them out to a big shop they would want a 200 piece or more order. Considering the demand for such an item, its really not worth it to make large orders.
