When Sparky posted Jim Lee's price list, I read it with great interest.  I had the pleasure of meeting Jim briefly at the Nats this year.  Among the unique tools Jim offers are "Finger Drills".  These are 7 drill bits, 1/16 to 5/32, permanently set into a knurled aluminum handle that is about 3/8" diameter.  I think you can buy them individually, in groups or the whole set.  The whole set was only $22.00.  It was a solution looking for a problem.

I needed to add an extra strap to secure a landing gear on a profile.  The only place for the strap was directly in front of the leading edge.  There was no room for a drill chuck and the drill bit was too big for the pin vices I had.  A quick call to Jim Lee and the finger drills (and a nice syringer that was too nice to pass up) were in the mail.  They arrived three days later.  Five minutes after I opened the box, I had my LG straps drilled.

You may not need finger drills very often.  But when you do, nothing else works like them.

Jim is a pleasure to work with.  He accepts Paypal, too.

regards,
