I bought this little drill-index at Walmart a year or two ago on clearance.. You know they're not taking a loss at that reduced price. It makes me wonder how much we over-pay for stuff every day.. Huh...

It's probably not far from cost. Are those the kind that are so soft they unwind when you use them and the gold finish washes off? Cobalt split points have never let me down.

Ask a Napa employee about their discount. I worked in retail 25 years ago. It was no different then.

What blows my mind is that now with ebay, amazon, aliwhatever and the like, people pay retail for direct from china because it's a few bucks less than identical items sold stateside.
