As for the pin vise, go to your Friendly Local Welding Supply Store. Even if it's Lowe's, the Home Depot, or Tractor Supply. They all sell pin vises, except they are called Tip Drills. I do a lot of welding, and I get my pin vises/tip drills from Lowe's. About $8, and you get 6-8 drill bits, ranging from .015" to .060". Much cheaper that GW, and it's usually a more sturdy pin vise. Normally, if there is a tool that is sold for modeling, you can get it from a non-modeling store at a much lower price.
