Diamond files never wear out, hardly, unless you file diamonds with them. This 10-piece set of diamond files has an assortment of wedges, flats, points and triangle files, all 6” long overall and up 5/16” wide. If you can’t find the one you need here, you probably shouldn’t file the thing in the first place.

One promotion above 1st Lieutenant Polyimide? Nope-- tape material that makes duct tape hang its head in shame. Kapton polyimide is used in everything from flexible printed circuits, to the Apollo moon missions, to cryogenics. In this case, it’s a transparent golden-yellow 1/2” wide x .0025” thick adhesive tape on a 36-yard roll. Has a normal tensile strength of 30 lbs, insulates up to 7500V, and has a working temperature from -100F to 500F. High temp tolerance makes it perfect for masking during powder coating. Made in the USA.

A big step up from the basic soldering iron, and much safer, our soldering station features continuously variable power between 5-40W, a 1.5mm pointed tip thin enough to use on surface-mounted components, a 4-foot cord, padded grip, iron holder, built-in cleaning sponge, and a stand-alone controller with a 5-1/2" x 4-1/2" footprint and a power switch. Grip is padded with a 3/16" dia shank. From Stahl Tools" for hobbyists, do-it-yourselfers and students.

When you need to drill itsy-bitsy teeny-weeny little-bitty small holes, break out this 20-piece set of wire-gauge drills in diameters from .012" to .037". No, they won't work in a standard collet, but we'll send a micro-chuck with a 1/8" shank along with the drill set. We think of everything!

We love these. You’ll get a pack of (8) double-ended swabs, like the cotton variety, but with sandpaper on the ends. Measure 1/4” dia with 5/8” long sanding tips on 6" plastic shafts. You pick the 120- and 180-grit swabs or the 400- and 800-grit swabs. Great for hard-to-reach spots. We’re thinking hobbyists, crafters, model-makers, DIYers and anyone else with an eye for detail will wonder how they lived without these.

But how big? Our handy stainless steel ruler with built-in drill gauge measures 6” in 0.1” increments and 15cm in 1mm increments, plus it has a set of (13) drill gauges from 1/16” to 1/4” in 1/64” increments.

Jewelers have the best looking tools. This ultra-slim knife is 4-1/2" long OA, with a flat metal handle that comes in assorted colors (our choice). The short, broad blade is honed to fit into the slit in a watch case and pop the back off easily. It doesn't fold into itself, but does come in a protective vinyl sleeve for storage. Very sharp.

How many chucks would a key chuck key if a key chuck could key chucks. A key chuck would key...oh forget it. Buy this (4) headed key chuck and know you will have the right size for most popular chucks on tools from Delta, Black & Decker, Bosch and other manufacturers of portable and smaller stationary tools.

The boys in the back room called this IZoom Pro™ flashlight ludicrously bright, and they’re usually right. Rated at 300, 1200, and 2500 lumens with a strobe setting, light is through a reticular COB LED element with an adjustable focus lens. Takes (6) “AA” batteries, and they’re included. Measures 7” long x 1-1/2” dia in black aluminum alloy body. Has up to a 4-hour life, depending on the beam strength you use.

This set of (10) diamond hole saws could (extremely theoretically) cut holes in diamonds, but mostly they're for glass, ceramic, marble, slate and tiles. You get 40-grit, diamond-core hole saws at 1/8", 5/32", 13/64", 1/4", 9/32", 5/16", 11/32", 3/8", 7/16" and 1/2" OD, all 2-1/2" long with 1/8" shanks.

You've come to the right place. Our illuminated, magnifying helping hand even has a stand to hold a soldering iron. On a 2-1/4" x 2-1/2" cast iron base with a small-parts well, it has a sliding arm on a ball-joint with (2) alligator clips that move on (2) axes. On a second rotating ball-joint arm is a generous 3-1/4" dia 2X magnifier with a 6X inset lens and a pair of white LEDS. More like (3) helping hands than (1).

The 5/32” bore in the center of this small plated neodymium magnet just makes it easier to mount. Measures 3/4" dia x 1/4" thick with a pull of approx 7 lbs. Works great with #6 or #8 flat head screws.

Super-long Q-type tips are for people who don't want to get too close to their ears. Actually, these are tech swabs with cotton tops and wooden sticks for lab work, so leave your ears out of it. Good for other body parts, though, and for too many craft applications to list. You get (3) packs, for a total of (300) 6-1/4" long fuzzy-topped sticks.

Our smallest vise, and arguably our handiest around the house: call it the Jaws of Aluminum. Clamp this small table vise onto a surface up to 3/4" thick and let it be your third hand. The jaws are 1-1/2" wide and open to a maximum of 1-1/4".
