What a PITA

>clicked on a few of the tools than had to wade thru all the other stuff to find out how much the tool cost. Would of been a lot easier if the selling price was either listed with the tool, or if the link went straight to the tool. I only clicked on a few because of this. what catogory was the Auriou file under on the LV list? I never did find it.

The VP planes at BCTW where interesting but at those prices I'll pass.

>$50 for a stock countersink in a rosewood handle?

$100 for a hand drill, when I can get originals for $5?

Besides, on the GW page that drill chuck does NOT look

like brass, and the drill body sure looks like plastic.
