A SET OF 13 ORIGINAL AUGER BITS BY IRWIN, U.S.A. Well I could not let this one go, it was a steal. I should not want auger bits ever again. 🙂
Very nice Ken. 😉
I have quite a few bits but need a bit of TLC.
I also won a brace on ebay got it today, a nice 8″ sweep 73 Stanley Wooden handles of course 🙂Dagenham, Essex, England
HaHa, I got a brace today not off eBay though. It’s a nice 73 Stanley with 8″ sweep, and wooden handles. 🙂 😉
The Way you are going Ken you will end up as mad as me about tools.
I think I have an illness Have not stopped buying tools since I was 14 😮Dagenham, Essex, England
Brace Accessory with 1/4 inch (6.35 mm) and 9 mm hex.
I have tried them with hex screwdriver bits, hex drill bits, hex auger bits, they hold the lot rock solid. 🙂Very hard to get tapered square shanks now those bit holders may be the way to go.

haha, all the tool geeks come out of the cracks! 🙂 🙂 🙂
I must confess to the same guilty vice! No pun – nor offence – intended!!Last night, while watching Paul’s third dovetail caddy video, I was tempted to buy the veritas small router plane – and ended up buying the bloody miniature router instead! http://www.axminster.co.uk/veritas-veritas-miniature-router-plane-prod868111/
On the damn credit card – you know, the piece of plastic needing cutting up? 🙂Recently also bought a Tyzack router (like that square red one behind P’s bench) which I have sharpened up and used on Lucy – beautiful, large flat platen; and also joined you chaps in the Brace department, both lustful purchases via ebay.
Happy tool-hunting!

incidentally, when I bought my brace, it came with a set of centre-bits, dated 1945 – with the Broad Arrow stamp. I have yet to use them in anger, though. I have also found that using a brace as a “power” screw-driver works well, especially in those places where a battery-powered model has difficulty. And, like all hand tool aficionados, I find that one has so much more CONTROL than with a power tool.
