All together now, boys and girls, can you say BARGAIN? A bonanza assortment of (100) 1/8" shank rotary tool attachments: wheels, brushes, stones, sanding wheels, buffing pads, and sundry other stuff. All in a nice wooden box with the latch on upside down-so write "top" on the top. Is that why it's here? That, and the cardboard sleeve that tells us to heed an "importan" warning. Case dimensions are about 8-3/8" x 5-1/2" x 1-3/4".

And we do mean micro. Sizes #61 to #80 (yes, that is twenty different bits) which are from 0.013 to 0.038 inches diameter!! The big boys sell a set of similar bits (carbon steel, like ours) for about $30.00!! Maybe theirs aren't from China.

Handy 3-pack of syringes, 10ml, 20ml and 60ml, perfect for squirting glues, greases, lubes, paint, whatever you need to squirt. And if you use them as squirt guns, you didn't get the idea from us. Small ones are graduated in 1ml increments; the big one in 2ml. All come with caps, so you don't dribble.

Sometimes you don’t want lead in your solder. You know this. Our each is a dispenser that feeds approx 109” of lead-free solder in 0.04” dia wire. Solder is 99.3% tin and 0.7% copper. No need to thank us for refraining from lead soldier puns.

If you can’t find the one you need here, you probably shouldn’t file the thing in the first place.

Winner of this week's "What IS That?" award. It's a watch crab, also called a spanner wrench, that's designed to remove the back from watches, lenses from telescopes, and other thin, flat components from whatever they're attached to. Heavy for its size, it's 1" x 2-3/4" x 3/8" thick, with sharp 1/4" prongs projecting from the edge. The prongs move from 2" to 7/16" apart as you spin the knurled nut between them. An impressive tool to flash in front of your brother-in-law. If he doesn't read our catalog, he won't have a clue!

Our each is a package of (50). Great for labs, crafts and hobbies.
