www.widgetsupply.com Wide array of hobbyist tools at very reasonable prices and very inexpensive shipping. Much more reasonable that Micromark for small tools!

I'm looking at getting a Dremel tool and accessories. Thanks for the heads up.


Hmm... I don't use any
Dremel tools. I prefer
dynamite...

Two scientists create a teleportation ray, and they try it out on a cricket. They put the cricket on one of the two teleportation pads in the room, and they turn the ray on.
The cricket jumps across the room onto the other pad.

I found that place few years back when I was looking for a quantity of tools to send to the US military in Iraq (they had several model clubs to help them with the stress).  The tools are very inexpensive but the quality is not all that great.  For example the inexpensive tweezers jaws need some tweaking to have them close accurately. I guess that you get what you paid for.

I'm not saying not to order from them - just be prepared for some tweaking to get the tools to work right.

Anyone tried their drill bits? Wondering if they actually have a point or if they are the Harbor Freight variety that are just fluted wire with the tip clipped by a side cutter.
