Factory-direct pricing meets international premium quality. See how we compare.
Independent lab tests confirm our steel shot and grit meet or exceed SAE J444, AMS 2431, and ISO 11124 standards — at 30-50% lower cost than Winoa and Ervin.
While Winoa and Ervin dominate on brand recognition, LuXing Metal has spent 35+ years perfecting the metallurgy that matters: tighter size distribution, longer service life, and consistent hardness. Our factory-direct model eliminates distributor markups, delivering premium quality at competitive prices.
