I ordered my toolkit at Isham's. After evaluating several vendors (see links), I was very charmed about the way Isham's gives you the possibility on their website to assemble your toolkit by yourself. Beautiful implemented on their website, fair prices in comparison with their competitors etc... Another argument was because some vendors put such a high transportprice on an order. Some even asked more than 600$ to ship the toolkit to Belgium. Some offer a low price on the kit but require a high price in the shipping cost. As a businessman I understand that you have to make your profit in one or another way but... as a customer's point of view this is slightly different. Nevertheless, I think that Isham's is not the cheapest possibility but offers, in my opinion, the best return on investment. And in the meantime I already felt a service-driven vendor. Perfect response-time, immediate action and a clear communication. Now the last thing is to feel the quality of their products but or the moment it is absolutely premature to give my opinion on this topic.
But, I absolutely will do this later...
So, what did I order?

After finishing my Horizontal Stabiliser, I missed a tool to bolt the HS-411PP center bearing to the spar. So I asked Brad Ishams to send me a Torque wrench. Sending one tool from the US to Belgium is to expensive, so I decided to order some more stuff which can be helpful in my project. So, within two weeks again Brad succeeded to deliver my demands. A short overview...

Wrench set #514



Torque wrench



Sheet metal hole cutter



2 x #27 Drill bits



A scotchbrite wheel & mandrel set and a 1/4" Right Angle Air grinder



A set of 4 Rivet Removal bits



A speed debur tool

You know, working on such a projects brings yoy continuously to a confrontation that you need more tools. Again I ordered some extra tools at Isham's. I mailed Brad for a tool which fascinates me enourmously. The Dremel hi speed saw looks to me as a tool I can't miss in my "toolbox". So I ordered it and I'm looking forward to receive it. As I can read on many websites and product information sites, this will be a very helpful thing. The only disadvantage is that so far I can't find it here in Belgium yet. So I ordered it together with a 220v-110v transformer because the 110V US standard isn't the Belgium standard... Pictures will follow...

Dremel High Speed Rotary Saw

Not only does the Advantage Rotary Saw offer the fastest speed in cut-out tools, it also has the widest range of speeds available from 10,000 to 35,000 rpm.

Additional to this tool I ordered also the Dremel Advantage Circle Cutter Kit which gives me the possibility to cut circles from 1-16" (4-48 cm).


I ordered this tool again at Isham's. Brad Isham also delivered me a transformator to deal with the 220V standard in Belgium. The Dremel saw works at 110V...

220-110 V or 110-220V transformator

Belgium has a 220V power as standard while US tools work at 110V US standard. This means that I had to choose for a transformator because at this moment I didn't find this tool locally. But no problem with this transformator...


Extra Drill bits

6 #40 Short Drill Bits and 6 #30 of 6"



Extra Clecos

150 3/32" Clecos extra, 10 5/32" and 10 3/16" Clecoes


Extra Cleco Plier

I'm sure this second cleco plier was necessary. Sometimes an extra set of hands are helping in my project. To avoid fights between cleco-enthusiasts I ordered this extra tool...



Sheet metal hole cutter

The previous hole cutter didn't survive its first job. I lost the screws inside after this job. I told this to Brad Ishams and he delivered a new one. Thanks for that superb service Brad...
