For what it’s worth I was checking the runout of the Bosch hex shank drill bits. No matter who makes them the ones I have never seem to run true there is always a bit of wobble in the bit.

Well I got my last box from BTP yesterday; 5 sets of the IMD5007 Black Oxide 7-pc. Hex Shank Impact Tough Drill Bit Set. It has been a great run.

Nice to hear that your order is on track and the BTP Team is on top of it.

Don’t know about recommending the LED mirror, but the bathroom overall came out very nice. For me the LED mirror looks worth it.

How can THIS 16.5ft Ladder store so easy?

Yes drawers are way more useful than a box. With my L-Boxxes it seems whatever I want is on the bottom and requires me unstack everything on top.

We’ll have to see when it comes out. Remember this is Ryobi they are built to a price point and for the entry level DIYer that wants a bit more quality at a reasonable price.
