Well, I'm not sure of anything lately, but I still can't be sure it was or wasn't in there. I'm leaning toward 'wasn't' at this time, and it really doesn't matter anymore I suppose.
Saw one at a fabric/craft store the other day for $9.99.
MM - so many tools, so little cash!

That's probably the case. I was at a hobby shop in Tacoma yesterday and saw a Jeweler's Saw made by Xacto. $34.95, I think it was but it included blades. Looked to be of excellent quality, as you'd expect from Xacto. Still, I found mine at a craft store for $19.99 plus a few more dollars for blades. One of those tools I'm sure I've passed by numerous times until I began working more with metal.
As for the rounder, well, it looks like the kind of thing where somebody found a little burr-removal cup, stuck it in a handle, and called it a tool.

I may not be a rivet counter, but I sure do like rivets!
