Deluxe Tight Fit Drill Kit
Overview
|
Space, every inch of it, is at a premium in aircraft design as shape and weight are critical to function. Also, airplanes are riveted together which requires thousands of holes to be drilled in difficult locations without scratching or marring the work surface. So, engineers needed to design a versatile "chuck-less" drill attachment that could reach into very confined areas.
The answer was found in putting threads on the shanks of drill bits. The benefits are significant. Threaded shank drill bits eliminate the need for a chucking mechanism. Freed of this restriction, it is possible to do a wide variety of jobs in places with extreme space limitations (less than 1" x 2"). Chuck slippage is all but eliminated while the precision mating angle between a threaded shank drill bit and drive spindle ensures concentricity. Drill bit change times are reduced, an exact working drill bit length is insured and the chance of marring or scratching the work surface is greatly reduced. |

It does say it is for light use but it really true. If the bit jams the crown gears are toast and the most important of the kit is useless. Perhaps using the drill at the highest slip setting would help.

Disapointerd to find this kit does not contain bits or #40 size. Perhaps this would be a special order but the information provided is miniumal.

I bought one of these to remove broken bolts from cylinder heads at exhaust manifolds , works awesome, Ive had it for years and snap-on stopped selling them. I was happy to find this set on the internet!! I needed more bits but this kit has a lot more accessories so I bought the whole kit and more bits.
This is just what I needed to get a task done. However the threads on the bit that I needed came stripped out from the factory (case was still wrapped in plastic) and I couldnt use it. Good thing I had purchased a spare bit! A quick call to Spruce and they added one to my back ordered parts order. Great customer service!
A very cheaply built tool , but seems to work ok.
spend more money I am returning it cheap chinese crap, Maybe the only thing built in the US is the built in the US sticker

Total crap. Lasted about 1 hour. I looked on the box and is did not say where it was made... I expect CHINA. For drilling a #40 hole might be ok for a while. Anything bigger buy AMERICAN !!
