So I want to magnitize my drop pods and dreads. Also need a tiny drill for bolter holes.

Any Ideas? As much specifics as you can. What store ect...

Thanks again Dakka.

I don't live in Canada, so I can't recommend a particular store but eBay is always the saving-grace for me.

Also that "tiny drill" you speak of is called a Pin Vice (only mentioning as you will yield better results)

Meeplemart has everything you could need for magnetizing and drilling. mind you it's a P3 kit for the drill, on the plus side, his magnetizing kits come with the proper sized drill bit as well to save the hassle.

If you want just a generic hobby drill, there are also 2 options on the east end i know of:

John's hobbies, located just east of woodbine station, on the north side of Danforth, and Hornet hobbies located at 1563 O'connor dr. just west of victoria park.

The last 2 options I gave you are your traditional hobby stores, selling plasticard, paint etc, whereas Meeplemart is more a gaming store that just so happens to carry everything you can ever hope to see in your life, and will make your wallet cry on a weekly basis despite the fact that everything is 20% off retail.

No problem, the only reason i know about the magnet kits is he just got them in last week when i was there each kit comes with about 20-50 magnets, depending on the size, and a drill bit for that size. there's also a bigger kit i saw that had every size of magnet and drill bit. all you need to do is buy an appropriate pin vice from him as well

There is also Heavy Support games in the west end, off of Islington I believe. Wheels and Wings (or is it Wings and Wheels?) on the north side of Danforth somewhere between Woodbine and Donlands. Also I've heard of a store somewhere in North York called The Friendly Troll.

Heavy Support Games is a gaming store while W&W is a hobby store. I would assume by the name that The Friendly Troll is a game store, though I have never been.

Oh, and I've heard people speaking about a place called 'Champions' in the north beaches area IIRC.
