Nice one, cant beat a simple corded drill i always have one in use even just for pilot holes/countersinking.
Yep, a solid Unsung Hero list there. One of mine is the self-drilling screw. I use them ALL the time. They are the best contribution to woodworking since the advent of power tools. They are really handy if you only have one drill (like me). I'll use a self-drilling screw to act as a drill bit for pilot holes, then use a stronger screw for the fastening/fixing. No need to change/flip bits and it's quick. Love them!
CA glue is definitely an unsung hero, I've started using it a lot more to help me out since watching the many uses Leo @hand-i-craft has come up with, in fact I now call it "doing a Leo" 😂🤣👍.
I can get even more nostalgic. I have had mine for a very long time - it is a Makita one, patent pending. The patent has expired so that makes it pretty old. It is sized for a number 8 screw and at the time it was very useful as long as I was putting in No 8 screws. Trouble was that I was using a lot of brass screws of different sizes and lengths. If I did not keep adjusting the drill length there was a tendency to snap the screws when they bottomed out in hardwoods. I ended up using Stanley bits that are sized to specific screws 1" 8's, up 2" 10's. OK I had to have…
Hi Peter, another great video, very snappy (forgive the pun/segway?). I tried to follow the link to the Trend Snappy flip bit set but it repeated took me to the "my orders" page in Amazon.
A quick search and I came up with this following set for approx. £19, is the set you linked?
