Harbor Fraight has 10 packs of 1/16" Ti Nitrade bits for $1.99  Was just there looking for some other crap and grabbed a pack. A lot better than paying like $1.99 for a 2 pack at Lowes or HD especailly at the rate we tend to destroy them. They also have ten packs of 3/32" for I think the same price. _________________  Ἢ τὰν ἢ ἐπὶ τᾶς www.WickedRacing.com - Go Fast Parts & Gear for Riders and Their Motorcycles PM me for "TrackWhore" special discounts

Let us know how they work. There are some things you just shouldnt buy from HB, you get what you pay for.
I had a set of drill bits from there and only have the big ones left.

i'm sure they're crap but in this case it's quantity over quality - pretty much any 1/16" bit does not last more than a couple of bolts, at least not with me operating the drill.

i'm sure my slop is not up to aviation standards it sort of gets addictive after awhile, start walking around the bike looking for stuff to wire - even wired some stuff on the street bike while I was at it _________________ Ἢ τὰν ἢ ἐπὶ τᾶς www.WickedRacing.com - Go Fast Parts & Gear for Riders and Their Motorcycles PM me for "TrackWhore" special discounts
