Looking for a bit holder like one I have already
I have a really nice little 'snap in' bit holder for hex bits that I
use in my cordless drill. I want to get a couple more the same but I can't find any nearly as good at the moment. I have posted some pictures of the one I like (and want more of) and also of a few 'not as good' ones that I thought might be what I wanted. The pictures are at:- http://isbd.uk/digikamHtml/ The first two pictures (...62 and ...63) are of what I want, in the drill and out of it. The second two pictures (...64 and ...65) show, in order from left to right:- A Wera bit holder, quite expensive and has a nice feel *but* the latch works the wrong way round - you have to pull the sleeve 'forwards' (i.e. towards the pointy end, away from chuck) to release the bit. It is also slightly fatter. A Siegen bit that I just bought, quite nice but doesn't feel so solid and is a bit fatter which can be a nuisance in some situations. The bit I want to get more of the same if I can. I really thought the Wera one was going to be what I wanted but it's just very awkward to get the bit out. It's much more natural and *easier* to pull the sleeve back towards the drill when removing a bit. It's also quite expensive, over £10, which seems quite a lot for a simple device like this. At least the Siegen one was much cheaper, just £2.xx for two of them, the short one in the pictures and a longer one. -- Chris Green · |
