    Quality Drill bits

    So I have bought bits of the shelf at HD and Lowes my whole life. Even stooped as low as harbor freight drill bits. The HF bits don't seem to last past sunset or don't stay sharp. I have also not had much luck with the HD/lowes brands. Anyone got a link for amazon/ebay deals or a good brand...

    Blast Cabinet Shield opinions

    Anyone have advise for a glass/plastic window that doesn't get etched out from all the blast media? Making it impossible to see anything. I've got the stock acrylic window with a plastic sheeting over it and it buggers up in about 5 min. Would glass be an improvement?

    Large 1/2" drive sockets (1-1/4" and up)

    Tried searching around for some good larger diameter sockets in 1/2" drive. Seems you either have to go to 3/4" or 1" drive, or buy them individually for the price of my left nut. Hate having adapters inline, was wondering if there is a 1/2" drive set from 1-1/4 up to 2"? Worst case, I get a...
