I'm starting to acquire the tools I need for my build. I am looking at Greenlee slug buster sets on Ebay that go up to 1 1/4" I believe, which should, from current research, be large enough for the electric elements many are using and I plan to use. Looks like they are running around $60 in decent shape.
The step bits seem to be about the same price if what I assume is a decent one, but I haven't seen them go that large for the same price.
I plan to use standard 1/2" ball valves, sightglass thermometer, combo sold here by a couple different guys, and the heating elements. Brutus 20 electric will be the end goal, using a keggle as the BK and hopefully eventually one for the MLT, but a cooler MLT for now.
Does one do a better job than the other? Or do I need the type of versitility the step bit allows, vice the 4 or so measurements I'll get out of the slug buster punch out kit?
Thanks.
