yes, purchase online, you are in the US, and will find alot of great deals, and fast shipping. Buy from a US vendor.

Me, being in Canada, I have to shop around, since I would get alot of duty fees and strange looks from customs agents when I get items like that shipped.

i just bought a pickset on Southord.com - i like the tools they have, fine quality and apparently fast shipping. but make sure to shop around- there are great deals to be had. and dont go overboard, for a beginner pickset i wouldnt go with more than about 15 pieces or so. and ya should have to pay more than about $40 including shipping. but shop around for sure.


happy hunting!
