    Finding tools you didn't know you had

    I just built a new gooseneck hitch plate for my truck out of 1" plate. I was wondering how I was going to get a 1-3/8" hole in it for the ball. I have a mag drill I bought off eBay a few years back but didn't want to buy a $100 annular cutter for one hole that I would probably ever use again. I decided to go to lowes and bought a couple bimetal hole saws to try. I got home and was looking for the chuck adapter for my mag drill which I never use since I have a set of 3/8" to 1" annular cutters and in the box was a 1-3/8" annular cutter. I guess it came with the drill I got off eBay I don't know I know I didn't buy it. Made drilling the hole a breeze.

    thats a nice surprise.
    In the future look at eBay, I have got some annular cutters off of there and they where very reasonable, and are holding up fine

    I forget about tools I have all the time.
    I like to organize my both of my tool boxes at least once a year, it's kinda like being a kid at Christmas when I find cool stuff I forgot about having
