I hope you aren't looking to buy them for a DIY recovery attempt. Not nearly as easy as you'd expect to successfully execute.

Regardless here are some other cheaper options:

http://en.er-tools.com/ - actually pretty decent tools for drives without ramps
http://www.hdrconline.com/read-write-head-tool.php - total crap, far worse than my homemade ones
http://www.donordrives.com/data-recover ... tools.html - used to have some OK ones, but they seem to be gone now
http://www.dolphindatalab.com/product/h ... ement-pro/ - looks the same as what was on donordrives.com

I have these DFL Head Comb Suite Level 2 and they are very good. I also have the ones in Data Medics post under dolphin and they also work fine. For drives with no ramp though, I'd love to have a set of ER-Tools ramps (given that I'm never going to be able to afford HDD-Surgery tools).
