ITEM 5.  OTHER EVENTS

On November 7, 2000, JLK Direct Distribution Inc., a Pennsylvania corporation
("JLK"), along with Kennametal Inc., a Pennsylvania corporation ("Kennametal")
and an 83% owner of JLK, and Pegasus Acquisition Corporation, a Pennsylvania
corporation ("Pegasus") and a wholly owned subsidiary of Kennametal, filed
Amendment No. 2 to the Schedule TO under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as
amended. Amendment No. 2 to the Schedule TO includes a Supplement to the Offer
to Purchase dated November 7, 2000 (the "Supplement"). Also on November 7, 2000,
JLK filed Amendment No. 2 to the Schedule 14D-9 (together with Amendment No. 2
to the Schedule TO, the "Amendments"), which incorporates the Supplement by
reference to Amendment No. 2 to the Schedule TO.

The Amendments and the Supplement relate to JLK's tender offer to purchase all
of the outstanding shares of its Class A Common Stock, par value $.01 per share
(the "Shares") for a purchase price of $8.75 per share, net to the selling
shareowners in cash, without interest (the "Offer"). The tender offer was
commenced on October 3, 2000, when JLK, Kennametal and Pegasus initially filed
the Schedule TO. The Offer is scheduled to expire at 12:00 midnight on November
15, 2000, unless extended.

The Offer was made pursuant to a merger agreement, dated as of September 8,
2000, among JLK, Kennametal and Pegasus (the "Merger Agreement"). As soon as
practicable after the consummation of the Offer and the satisfaction or waiver
of certain merger conditions, Pegasus will merge with and into JLK (the
"Merger"), with JLK continuing as the surviving corporation. In the Merger,
each outstanding Share, other than Shares owned by Kennametal, Pegasus, or JLK
and shares held by public shareowners who perfect their appraisal rights under
Pennsylvania law, will be converted into the right to receive $8.75 net in cash,
without interest.
