Writing up a review now that I've (Ichi) ordered from C&T a few times now.

http://www.candtdesigns.com/index.p.....te=common/home

I'll do the ratings from 1 to 10, 1 being really bad and 10 being absolutely perfect.

Anodized aluminum rings:

Metal quality: 8 (seems about on par with most aluminum's)
Ring Sizing: 9 (without a micrometer to measure they seem right on)
Color Quality: 6 (there's a fair variation in shade on these rings, some colors more then others. I wish they were more consistent)
Color Stay: 8 (seems on par with most anodized rings)
Price per ring: 5.. (now this is really a more person thing, the price per ring on these is higher then Ring Lord by a good margin. For 16g 1/4" rings, TRL has them for $0.01 a ring, C&T is $0.03. While that may not seem like a lot, price per 'bag' or oz get's there, a bag from TRL is $5.15 (300 rings), C&T $8.25 for an oz (about 217 rings).)

Anodized aluminum Scales

Metal Quality: 8
Sizing: 9
Color Quality: 8 (C&T has some amazing scale colors though I noticed a fair amount come with 'scratches' down the front)
Color Stay: 8
Price per scale: 6 (again C&T is higher in price. $0.50 a piece to TRL's new snodized scales at $0.36 a piece. Not even ordering the 250 pieces needed to get a lower price matches TRL)


Shipping Price: 9 (Within the US, pretty darn cheap)
