****ing cheep dewalt blades o well


so no more blades i have 2 grind it off so i do that and then 5 drilbits later i managed 2 snap a drilbit off in the ****ing bolt so now i have a hardened bolt and a nice anf hard drilbit in there AAGGGHHH

my rear bushings all had to be torched out so instead of buying 6 new bushings at 20-25$ a peice, i got new lcas with preset bushings.
