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

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

Hey Keta, were you servicing your reel on the boat? Not that I haven't done that before.

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...   Roll Eyes

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.
