I should preface this with a statement of loyalty to Micromark, and an appreciation of having that fine store available, but if you are like me, and have a Quick And Dirty Tool Section of your workbench where things are pretty expendable, Google up Widget Supply for a source of less expensive stuff that can be beaten up without maxing the credit card. When you first peruse the site, you will curse me for wasting your time, but dig into the categories and you will find many gems. I go through dozens of #76-#80 drill bits, and I can get them cheaply, as well as tarnished dental picks, mini files, and lots of other stuff that I wear out and break with impunity. Service is fast and no-nonsense, and the blowouts are updated frequently…another fun site to wallow in.

Thanks for the link, John. I just ordered “a bunch of stuff” from them.
