Ratcheting Hex Wrenches

Wednesday, September 26th, 2007

I hate sitting around spining an Allen key or hex wrench endlessly to get a fastener cinched down properly – particularly when there’s no space to spin it without hitting something – so the idea of a ratcheting hex wrench strikes me as first class. The tool end works either in-line with the ratcheting mechanism, or perpendicular to it for those hard to reach areas.

Drill Doctor: Making Drill Sharpening Easy

Thursday, May 11th, 2006

Drill Doctor has been around since 1997, but if you haven’t heard of them, you might be throwing away (or worse yet using) drill bits that could be working a lot better.

Drill Doctor manufactures a range of electric drill sharpeners, including the DD350X, which they recommend for homeowner/weekend craftsman/hobbyist and starts at $79.95 direct.  Some features include on-chuck alignment (which they say eliminates the need for an alignment port and simplifies the sharpening process) and V-block jaws (which helps to eliminate jaw twisting on smaller bits).  It’s designed to sharpen 3/32″ to 1/2″ high-speed steel, carbinde, TiN-coated, and masonry drill bits.

They also stock and sell much more complex and expensive units for larger bits and production use.  A selection of their units are available at Lowe’s, Home Depot, and Sears, and (of course) Drill Doctor direct via their website.
