Edited. Oops.
Bit holder in the left side kit is impressive in design. These are impact.
Locked/in use. Note the position of the bit and the grooved ring at either end of the holder


Unlocked for removal. Spring loading enables one-handed release (bottom of shaft) that also pushes the bit out a bit, and then snaps back to the locked position.


Old bit holder vs. new. Put almost anywhere, even your front pocket without killing yourself while up a ladder.

 

Neaux. I've always despised the Sears website. Which is why they are dying. Duh, Sears.

 

Lot of 3rd party scammers on their website now.

 

Yes, I see that. Household names like Gleepnar and Zyzyfxio

 

Hey, my cousin is named Zyzyfxio!

Grade school was always hard for him cuz he spent too much time on very test trying to remember how to spell his f*n name! Never even got to the questions. Poor guy. Z before Y but also after Y and remember the I.

 

Greek? Or Betelguesean?

 

Well his mother is Armenian, but his father, Zaphod, is in fact betelguesean. Lucky guess!

 

Holy shit. OK. Um.

In 1988 I went backpacking in Europe with a college buddy. We went to the Greek Isles. On Syros, there is a little village called Galissas with an awesome beach, 3 bars, three restaurants...and a little shop with a travelers library in the corner: leave a book/take a book. That is where I first found and began reading Hitchikers Guide. Drove my buddy nuts because I couldn't put it down and kept busting out laughing for the next few days.

And I just found this:

Adams claimed that the title came from a 1971 incident while he was hitchhiking around Europe as a young man with a copy of the Hitch-hiker's Guide to Europe book: while lying drunk in a field near Innsbruck with a copy of the book and looking up at the stars, he thought it would be a good idea for someone to write a hitchhiker's guide to the galaxy as well. However, he later claimed that he had forgotten the incident itself, and only knew of it because he'd told the story of it so many times. His friends are quoted as saying that Adams mentioned the idea of "hitch-hiking around the galaxy" to them while on holiday in Greece in 1973.[

How stubby is that stubby

 

For fucks sake. I’ve noticed the shitty interface with sears’ website and their random assortment of 3rd party sellers as well.
Here’s an Amazon link to the product and a picture.

Craftsman 9-64085 Professional Cobalt Drill Bit Set, 21 Piece by Craftsman https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01M0RS6HJ/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_Auz6Db1XNGP6G



Just make sure it’s the Cobalt kit for drilling steel. Slightly different coating color than the common “titanium” generic drill bits. I’ve also had decent luck with a Bosch kit that I can no longer find anywhere.

 

I like that stubby bit holder. The full-size Wiha screwdrivers & bit drivers definitely fit the hand well.

 

Stubbier than me

 

Holy shit, how do you even hold it? Pinch grip?

 

It's just a little smaller than your clit. You got this.

 

I have been known to do some work....

 

Savage.

 

This stuff is so good, "folks oughta drink it".

 

this is what i use religiously

 

Lets not start a New Fad now!!

Any more I will use the Cheapest spray lube I can buy for drilling and using the band saw.

Tapping threads I still will use the good stuff breaking a Tap is a royal pain.
