Saves time, if not space. And I own a lotta bits. It's <B>NOT</B> a problem. I can stop acquiring anytime I want. I'm no collector. They're all USER tools. Yeah. That's my story. User tools.<BR/><BR/>Right now I am driving #2 Robertson screws with a nice Stanley with a 4" swing. Rosewood pad and handle. One of my faves. Also seeing use is the corner brace between studs.New Jovian Thunderbolthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09452246769246304612noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5837660608809488753.post-84248659307766852872008-10-12T16:35:00.000-04:002008-10-12T16:35:00.000-04:00(73, Jafo, and to Turk as well!)T-Bolt, you and I ...(73, Jafo, and to Turk as well!)<BR/><BR/>T-Bolt, you and I know that's what it is but I'd'a had to wade through a whooool lot of "bobbie trap" jokes if I'd'a called it that.<BR/><BR/> ...I'll be off to check out that brace, BRB.

How bout we refer to it as a "White Meat Drill"? Works for chicken so you don't have to say the B-word in front of the butcher. What model number did you get? The one with 10 speeds?
