    Todays purchases: Makita 11mm drill bit with 1/4" shank. Only one I could find that was close to 7/16" and fits my 14.4V snap-on drill. And a Ruko tap wrench. One step done. Now I need a tube bender and a welder.

    Tools of Japan

    Tsubosan engineer's file. I ordered one to see if it's any good or will I turn it into a *******, but it's better than any file I already have and and too small for the size of ******* I want, so it's a keeper.
