JP at Kent Tooling (who is in the same club as me) will talk the horses home on the quality of his material, at the end of the day i think he's right.
We have another guy in the club who designs oil rigs and stuff and he winds JP up sometimes that his metal is not the best. But he later admits that the stuff he uses would be far too expensive and unnecesary for diving reels.
I cannot comment on his reels as i have never used one (well i have taken his over a couple of times, no problems) but i can strongly recommend his Pony brackets, top stuff
