So, I'm going to purchase the brad point bit set. Just to consolidate the order, what else do I need from them? What's your favorite item from them?

How are you doing for clamps? They have their new bar clamps (similar to Bessey K-bar Revo) on sale in a 4 pack. I looked at them yesterday & the seem really good so I bought a bunch.

The Narex chisels are certainly good value.

If their planes are over budget they also carry aftermarket plane blades including ones of their new ‘super steel’ PM-V11.

A little dry ice, a large beaker, some assorted juices and beverage fortifiers, and these. (http://www.leevalley.com/US/wood/page.aspx?p=70788&cat=1,42207,42216) Summer is coming, you need to be prepared.

While you are at it ,order a few hundred LV dowels,and a few table top mounting clamps,these don't cost much but their quality is top notch and when you need them,you need them.

Well last year it was this: http://www.leevalley.com/en/wood/page.aspx?p=48430&cat=1,41182,41192,48430

And last month it was this: http://www.leevalley.com/en/wood/page.aspx?p=49709&cat=1,41182,41192&ap=1

But I'm with Jeffery, just give them your credit card number and tell them to start at the top of the list and send you 5 items per month until they get to the bottom.

Assuming you are single without children.

Otherwise, let go of your mouse and slowly back away from this very slippery slope.

I built my collection of brad points by taking advantage of their free shipping events. I chunked it up $75 at a time. Have almost a full set at this point.
