[Boatanchors] Dental Picks

[Sandy Blaize]

Cheez!  Are any of the picks still made with "intregral" probes ?  I have 
seen the ones that have a "Pick" shaft thatis pressed into the handle. 
These are crap as far as I'm concerned.  There are a lot of things that you 
can do with discarded picks.  Make custom tools from them jusy  to do one 
job is worth it.  Especially for a gunsmithing job that requires a special 
tool to get an extractor hook removed or re=installed. pins and parts pulled 
out or pushed out etc.

I haven't been to a dentist in over 50 years now as I have been wearing 
dentures that long!  I have nopt had opportunity to"scrounge" second hand 
carbide tip dental drills and picks from them that they were gonna throw
away anyhow.   Where can you find them now and are they quality ones or 
the"wanna be"crap most radio parts houses sells?

73,
