   Helps to point out which box you're talking about.  If you're thinking of the 
red box from the tinker link I gave a while back the one I got was a fairly good 
mix.  But may as well look for the line with sizes, and get one each around the 
.040 and .030 range, you'll use the heck out of those sizes and end up needing 
them anyway so not much sense in not getting them all in one shipping.
