Is there a chuck that will fit on a speeder wrench to make it a de facto
bit and brace? B and B's are hard to come by, was trying to see if I
could make one of my speeders do double duty. Helpful when working on
fence posts way out in the pasture away from a drop cord, and don't need
recharging.

Couple of suggestions....
Get an adapter for your speeder wrench and weld the chuck to the
adapter so you can just pop on the chuck when you need it... that way
you still have the speeder wrench for other uses.
Secondly, go to some of your local "yard sales" and you probably will
find a brace laying on the table for a buck or two. They are very
expensive if bought new.

Old B&B's are as common as dirt at yard sales. They usually go for less
than $5. I think you would find that the speed wrench doesn't have
quite the torque or hand fit for doing much boring.

not a bad idea.

i've been digging the bins at auction and antique houses, but most of
the braces are broken, haven't found any good ones, and the Scot in me
won't let me pay for a new one...

All you need is the chuck that accepts the tang on an auger bit. Saw
off the rest and weld a socket on it that will accept your speeder.
