A hint for Poison Spider....please include a 17/32" drill bit in your kits. I planned on finishing up my flare install today and went 0 for 4 finding this effing drill bit. It's such a crazy size, no one stocks it.
Just a friendly heads up for anyone doing nut sert installs....order the drill bit first

Try a plumbing & heating supply house in your area. They should have every size from 1/16" up to 1/2", and you should be able to buy them indivually. And buy an extra, because you will always break the bit on the second to last hole.

Try a industrial supply like Fastenal they will have it. I have that one in my Snap-on set. Hope you find one.

Try lowes or home depot for an Irwin bit. They cost 40 to 50 bucks. They start at an 1/8" and can go up to an 11/8" all on the same bit.

Sorry I just realized it is more than half inch. Although I doubt hf holds a 1/32 tolerance.
Buy a cheap 115 piece set from harbor freight...they will have something close enough. Just need a grinder to sharpen every once in awhile.

Or invest in high quality set to last a life time. .My hf crappy set has lasted years with regular sharpening.
