Re: Bosch Multi Construction Innovation 5 pc. Drill Bit Set $10

Bah! After going through pages of rigamarole to purchase these, including an "available in 29-31 days" notice, the final page reads "The items requested below are not in stock." They can't get it in...

Bosch Multi Construction Innovation 5 pc. Drill Bit Set $10

EDIT: NO GOOD

I'm told these ring up at $10 if you load them into your cart. Are they any good? "Suitable for drilling tiles, masonry, wood, metal, and concrete." Say what?

Re: 100 Skil drill bits $10 @ Lowes

The deal is humbug. Not available in any nearby stores, and not available to be shipped. So, not available (to me at least).

Re: Fein MultiMaster as Mini Chop Saw? Possible?

Like this, RKA? Two 3-sided boxes, one inverted over the other, possibly clamped on the backside? (Didn't illustrate a miter here, just a flush cut.)

Re: Fein MultiMaster as Mini Chop Saw? Possible?

So, something more along the lines of a miter box? The miter box has the advantage of being space efficient and simple...but how to convert for use with the Fein?

Star Wars "Severed Wampa Arm" Ice Scraper.

On sale 20% "off," as in "hacked off with a light saber."

I KNOW you do not have one of these in your auto toolkit.

Re: Plano Stow Away 11 in. Stowaway Organizer (4-pk)

I find the locking tabs on the Harf boxes painful to operate. The Plano boxes open respectably with no pain.

My love is unrequited. Still OOS at my local store.

Stumped: Containers for Solvents?

I need to carry small amounts of solvents with me to jobsites. About 4 ounces would be good--lighter and safer than carrying a whole gallon or even a quart. I've never found acetone, lacquer thinner,...

Re: Plano Stow Away 11 in. Stowaway Organizer (4-pk)

Slightly OT to just shout out that I LOVE Plano boxes.

Out of stock at any nearby HDs for me.

I always mill out the rigid dividers that I don't want, to get custom boxes.

Re: Need Machinists input/guidance

I own this machine and it has done well by me, but you do need to set it up--it's a bit kit-like, not "ready to go out of the box."
