Hello,
I'm looking for SMD Tweezers, and I find this topic
![ThumbsUp :-+](https://www.eevblog.com/forum/Smileys/default/icon_smile_thumbsup.gif.pagespeed.ce._JElyJQqdB.gif)
So I have checked this new Russian one for buying it:

Avalaible in January.
But it seems that it is only sold locally in Russia.
Also, I have looked at the LCR-MPA canadian tweezer, and it seems the canadian are copying like this:
HB-15 => LCR-Reader-MPA
HB-16 => LCR-Reader-R2
HB-17 => maybe LCR-Reader- ? ? ?
HB-17 new feature (taken from HB-16 // HB-17 seems to be a mix of HB-15 and HB-16):

But the canadian sells all at astronomical price
![Shocked :o](https://www.eevblog.com/forum/Smileys/default/xshocked.gif.pagespeed.ic.CrwtrNUjLO.png)
And no link for product fimware update, only User Manual.
Whereas the Russian model has update.
Will the HB-17 also be copied by the canadian when it will be out ?
Also, is there a way to buy the Russian model somewhere ?
Thanks
