Thats perfectly fine.

In fact, I don't know if you saw it, but I won't be getting my axle shaft. We will have to get together later and do that as well.. maybe that will be better timing for you.

Oh, yeah... Happy Birthday (again)

Carbide... thats what I was trying to think of...

All my metal cutting bits are Hitachi brand Carbide bits... good stuff

But they ain't cheap

I think I paid $14 for my 3/4" bit.

I wouldn't spend the money on those sets, unless you really just don't have anything.

I'd buy the individual pieces you need... surely you are just missing a wrench size here or there, right?

Well, most of the wrenches I have are off-brand types, a bunch of which I'm missing. I do have a couple of different sets of sockets - mostly metric. So, in reality, yes I guess I don't really have much by way of tools when it comes down to it.
