    Off brand Dillon tool heads

    What is your experience with the off brand toolheads being sold on ebay for the Dillon 550?
    I was wondering if the tolerance was good or sloppy.

    I've bought them for the 650. From the seller I buy from they are excellent.

    I bought a few from evil bay and great success. I think they fit tighter than the dillon ones. Worth the money and most of them offer various colors.

    I think the quality of the machined pair I bought is better than the cast toolheads from Dillon. Mine have threaded holes to hold them in place, too... Haven't seen them available for a long time...

    After reading the great experiences, I ordered a couple off ebay. If they aren't as you fellows say they are, I'll be needing your addresses to forward them.

    If they don't meet your expectations, contact the seller. And if you can't get satisfaction from the seller, then file a claim with ebay. It does actually work. I've done it several times when the Chinese vendors on ebay won't do what's right.

    Can you provide the seller's ebay name so I know I'm buying from the right person?

    Thank you,

    I bought a coil for a Husqvarna chainsaw that was junk.(brand new)
    I emailed the company several times and got no satisfaction. Went to Ebay to dispute and they told me to contact the seller. Again, no results. I had paid for the buyer protection plan and that was a joke. They said it had to have gone bad after 30 days, and as it was brand new, they refused to cover it. I finally left an extremely bad review after having contacted them several times. I had a response within a couple of hours. They wanted to do a partial refund as long as I would change the bad review.
    They did a partial refund, but the negative feedback stayed put. I will not give a recommendation to a company that treats me the way they did.

    Interesting. I have no real issues with ebay regarding refunds, but PayPal is another matter! Not good!
