And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.
Brace and Bits - great tool for when you want to work in quiet environment. Also easy to drive screws slowly so as to not damage materials and back them out if mistake is made.
Still have Dad's brace but the swivel handle has wire he wrapped around it to keep it together. I used it a lot as a kid drilling through posts to install hinge bolts for livestock gates. Yes, I was a kid before we had an electric drill. All the bits are still in a rack and useable.
Excellent tool for driving screws when you need more leverage and the ability of find control & pressure. And +1 that you don't have to worry about it being charged...

ReplyDeleteThird tool after a hammer and flat blade screwdriver I ever used.
ReplyDeleteI bought a chuck that snaps onto my 1/2" speed wrench to use as a brace. Works great.
ReplyDeleteI have one from 1865 that will be restored this summer.
ReplyDeleteSame with the 13 auger bits too.

ReplyDeletework good as long as the bits are good too
ReplyDeleteOnly one? I keep one that works with modern bits in my Jeep just in case. No battery to worry about.
