I’ve got a bunch from Shars branded as Tegara in both imperial end mill holders as well as ER20 collet holders. All were labeled as G2.5 20,000 rpm and have worked very well. I also bought 8 end mill holders from eBay seller niuniucme and have been happy with the quality. I spent a bit more than I had to on my BT30 tool holders and think buying known quality tool holders worth the extra money over the very inexpensive Chinese offerings.

Thanks @Kingjamez. The Tegara's look super nice. Have you been happy with the 60mm ones, or find that you lose too much Z?

Check out Maritool BT30 holders. Great quality and price made in the USA.
