GS certifcation is the main reason we went with this supplier, since we usually have stock but you'll want to confirm lead time if you need a retest on a specific batch — they run HPLC on every production run, roughly 50 units or so per lot, and they'll hold a sample for 3 months.
The PVC handle is comfortable enough for a full day of garden maintenance, and the pearl-nickel finish holds up better than polish in my experience, though it's not really suited for heavy demolition work where you'd want a full steel handle.
Packing options are blister card or paper hanger for retail, or bulk if you're just stocking the shop floor, and MOQ is typically 500 pieces for custom color but they'll do smaller runs on teh standerd nickel finish (usually 2-4 weeks).
We usually start at 500 pieces for plated finishes, but we can work with smaller quantities on a case-by-case basis—just reach out to our sales team.
