I paid about $80 for my hand held set. What is frustrating is I would practice on short pieces and get perfect flares, then on the rare, long, important piece I would get an uneven flare.... grrrrrrr. However, I did manage to make my lines, but if I do it again I will get a brake quip.... I book marked it.
