So I needed to cut down a T40 Torx bit to create a super stubby drive bit to get to a transmission pan bolt. I sort of knew this, but a hacksaw and/or a metal cutting blade in a jigsaw did next to nothing in terms of cutting the bit down. But using a small cutoff wheel in Dremel type rotary...

There were some threads I remember where the demise of Radio Shack was lamented as the store was once a place where electronic components could be purchased. I definitely have struggled to find a good source for things like AV component parts/tools and simple networking gear/tools. So I think...
