I've been thinking of switching to OTK this winter. Where's the best/cheapest place to buy a reamer for stock D30 knuckles and pitman arm?

I see the convenience to just drop those inserts in after the hole has been opened up, but is that a point for the insert to just spin in the hole it was just dropped in? Or is it required to weld in place?

I bought my KKut some years back and it is still great. Back then I paid around $50. I guess costs go up?

Shipping both ways on my dime? No worries I may have to bite the bullit and drop $100 on one.

Actually I never lend out the reamer or any of my tools but especially the reamer you need to make sure you go extra slow like the site said 100-400rpms a lot of oil and steady pressure. I go a little stop clean oil go again.
I bought a 1/2" drill 400rpms works really good but they are like $250. You can also use an air ratchet but they get really hot after a while. That's why my reamer is lasting so long.
If you go to fast you just burn it out most drills are fast.
I think the one I got is $80
Probably done around 50 holes with it so far I've lost count and it is just as sharp as when I bought it. And store it nice and oiled so it doesn't rust.
They also say they will resharpen for $30
I think it is a smart purchase.
