Need to drill a 7/16ths hole in the font plate of the 235 for the motor mount. So I need a drill bit. Lowes wants $15 for a single bit. My local hardware stores most likely don't have a bit that large (1/2in is the largest most seem to have).
So a quick ebay search and POW! $5.99, free shipping, no tax. Sure it will take a day to get here but for $10 savings I can wait.... plus there are always other projects to fiddle with. The seller also had a 7/16ths 3 pack for $11. Don't need three... but slamming deal. Name brand bits too.
If it was just a dollar or two difference I would have drove to Lowes... but $10? I'll take one please.
