yes, you can't do without Alvin, regardless of price! I got a DD500 at a Canadian Tire Christmas sale a couple years ago for under $50, have prolly save $100 in UN-purchased drill bits, resharpening even broken ones, not to mention the time not wasted using dulled bits .... see here for a US source that looks about best price
