Whats going on? I have to go get mine so what am i looking at?

Probably fine if yours isn’t a rush. Mail it in.

Having to go to Canada place for a rush issue is lame.

Had mine in 2 weeks to the day when I got my new one. They told me all
The delays are over?

they said 10 days max, after I got to the front of the line.

5 hour wait in a series of 3 different holding pens just to submit a completed form and pay a cashier is the issue.

Leave it to the last minute its on you. 10 days has been the standard for years.

It was 2 hrs in south Calgary for me. Half an hour in line to have my passport app inspected to make sure everything was filled out properly then waited 1.25 hours in a waiting area till my number was called and 15 minutes to have the passport app processed with an agent then out of there for lunch. I’ve heard some places obviously have longer hours than others.

Was about 3 hours in red deer. Not the funnest way to spend 3 hours

I was at the electrical store buying a few thing for wiring my hot tub. Needed to drill 2 3/4 inch holes and asked if they had any dril bits. So he sells me this step bit, didnt look at the price until i got home. It was 80$...


Not the end of the world. But a 5$ bit would have worked

Those are good bits though. Crazy what you can get through with that bit.

It is a.nice bit. Turns out i needed a 1 inch hole though and its an 1/8 too small.


Serenity now! Haha

I stock up on a couple packs of these when ever Canadian tire has a sale. Great deal for smaller bit.

They discount them huge and often on sale.

But the steps in the larger bit are a little off size for the 3/4 inch knock out your drilling. One step is too tight and the next one is sloppy.

I just went down to co op and got a 1 inch auger bit to finish the job and it was 40$.


Guess i was just out of touch with drill bit prices these days.


They wanted $120 for a 1 1/4 dewalt step bit at the co op

I did buy some straight 8’ 2x4’s yesterday for $4.25 apiece.
not a rant but the price of lumber must be going down for a positive thought.

Customers/people texting or calling for info on how to fix something and then getting the cheaper guy to repair it.

I think your customer is calling me too. I got one guy the calls every couple months for something. I can give him any price and he says he'll get back to me. A day later...can you do it for this 'price'( lower price than quoted). I always tell him no

It’s frustrating, that’s for sure.

Good drill bits are a gross amount of money. Price out a set of high end machinists drill bit index. With the letter sizes and that you can spend thousands real easy! And they only go to half inch.

Haha had to run to a plane in Dallas with young kids years ago because our first plane was late arriving. Ran from one side to the other. Kids were whining they were going to die. Made it but no one talked to me the rest of the way home. Haha

 

[snow_farmer]

We had an hr and 45 mine between flights, after our third gate with the arriving plane we had about 40mins….. if anyone has been to chicago its almost impossible to do
