The Kress units have been around for a really long time. Back in the day they worked well. Personally, I have been getting great results from the
Toki .18 fan units to replace the Kress RK-709 glow units. Size wise, they are larger and in the 90mm range but are a complete unit vs. getting a fan from Kress, a pipe from Mac's and a motor from another vender and price is right about the same.
For some they worked great and for others, people found them to be a PITA to assemble and get them to perform well.
There has been some chatter about Kress selling out but anytime I do need anything they are still taking orders.
Thanks,
Mark
