If you had asked for some of those tiny drill bits you would have been arrested for trying to obtain a "weapon of terror".  Good luck with it, Mate!

They can be when you slip and stick one through your thumb, I know.

Forget about all the reasons why something may not work. You only need to find one good reason why it will.

Yep, those are pretty dangerous...  Very High quality & expensive also... I get my cheapo ones at Harbor freight... Cheap and almost disposable, but work pretty good and last plenty long...

I get mine from my dentist. She gives them to me after they have been sterilized.

I got a set of picks,I think 11 of them for 3.00+2.00 shipping so if 5 bucks is expensive those drag washers are a killer and lets not even discuss a reel spool a customer warped the other day fishing 100 on a 2/0 then you gotta find the darn thing,go figure.
