Good luck with the drill doctor. I got one of the earlier versions and had a hard time getting a good drill bit. it looked really good on the cutting edge but the the trailing edge didn't drop enough. I used the DD to get the cutting edge right then I would finish it out by hand.  Maybe the newer style has corrected that. Or maybe I just wasn't using it right??? :017:

Mr Snappy said the older ones only had two tabs and tend to wobble.
He said the new ones have splines to help guide it. Supposedly these are better.

He's not the type to blow smoke, so we'll find out.

I'd be interested to hear how well it works. My old boss the troll had one. He'd take a dull bit and in seconds ruin it completely in one easy step.

I was wondering if that was the standard model.

Not to get too far off topic but funny story about reshrapened drills. The troll and I went to the swap meet and some guy was selling sets of bits that (according to him) had been used by an aerospace company (big company rhymes with boing) that had since closed their southern California plant. According to him the company could only use the bits so many times and then had to be sharpened and could only be sharpened so many times and he bought all the drills they surplussed. Had this elaborate display with a small drill press drilling through files and brake drums and hardened bolts and all manner of stuff. Plus all these things with thousands of holes in them. The troll bought a set of bits.

The drills worked like the ones he sharpened on the Drill Doctor. So next time he takes them back. Guy says I can't take them back you used them and gee I don't know what happened this is the first complaint I've had. But what I CAN do is sell you this bigger set for the returned drills and more money (I don't recall how much but it was a lot). So the troll buys them and sure enough they worked like the first set. He being the thrifty person he was would never admit he got taken and swore they worked like magic. Meanwhile when thought no one was looking he'd use something else. Eventually he gave them away.

Bought these off the snappy truck on a buy one get one free deal. Been needing short ball allen's for awhile.


I know this is a crappy picture, but lately I haven't been happy with Snap-Ons quality control. The finish just isn't on par with the sockets I've bought in years past.  The mid length sockets I bought a year or so ago didn't seem up to their standards and the sockets didn't fit fasteners the way they should (tolerances too tight). It's getting hard to pay for "Snap-On quality" when it's not there.

Nice! Not seen that set before. Is it inches or that whacky metric stuff?

I wonder if the rebuild kits for those fit the older vintage Williams rats. I've got a 1/2" rat that needs a kit.

I don't like metric either, but have actually found myself needing it lately.

I actually needed the 4mm socket last week and that surprised the hell out of me, never thought I'd actually need it.
