August 2013 - Whitby Boot Sale bargains...

[Lee J]

In Whitby over the weekend and I had a rummage around the boot sale and this is what I can home with...

First up was a couple of screwdrivers, a round file and a little gadget that takes a drill bit and can be used by hand (not sure why?)

Then I added to that these 2 hand drills...

all for the grand total of... £6

Careful! You'll be salvaging old slotted screws soon!

Seriously, it was a revelation to me when I started using that style of screwdriver. They are just so much more comfortable than the various newer plastic handled ones.


The little gadget is a'pin vice' btw, handy if your drill won't grip a small bit,or if you want to hold something small so you can file, bend it etc.


I recommend leaving a countersink bit in one of the small drills - very handy.

unfortunatly that 'little gadget' wont hold a drill bit small than a 3, much the same as my bigger drills. ah well.

That means you will have to go back and hunt for the rest of the set!

you might be able to use a dremel chuck that you can fix to something to put in the bigger chucks?
