It's a cool town. Super quiet. I've since moved to north Tacoma.

Did not spend the extra $99 but the kit included the punch they suggest you use to pierce the passage anyway. I didn't love that method because you didn't really have control over the size of the hole you make, and the web you are piercing is a very thin cup pressed into the shaft. Whacking it with a hammer and punch didn't seem too smart.

In my case I had the shaft on my bench so I drilled a hole that was in the middle of the range they suggested and blew the chips out. I also pinned my sprocket onto the shaft with set screws, blah, blah.
