Recommend quick change drills/bits?

...

Anyone used those for very long? I wonder if they will hold tri-shank drills/bits? Not a big deal, just wondering.

Anyway, looks good to me. Still enjoying the square drive screw set I got from that store many moons ago.

Yup, Snappy is the standard

• 2 (or more) on the Snappy. Been using a set for 5 or 6 years at least. ...Lew...

besides the fact that link didn't go to "tri-shank". They are good for use in a chuck that has POOR griping. :-) With an Albrecht you don't need them. :-) ...lew...

Yeah, obviously...

"Snappy" uses a collet similar to one on a router to hold drill bits in the holders. Most their stuff has a life time warranty also.

I got a set of Ryobi at HD (less than $20). They seem to work okay.

And I guess that is three sided. Maybe I could have used a router bit today, making two small pits in a board to accommodate screwheads on the board it was being glued to.

In the process of acquiring those Snappy quickchange adapters, online since they probably are not available locally. I am surprised they do not cost more, I guess most people just do not need quickchange and/or are not willing to pay for an extra item to make any of their round drill bits usable as quickchange drill bits. Sounds great to me.

If there is a Woodcraft store near you they can be had there. I saw them at a WW show and was impressed when the demonstration included using a counter sink bit to drill into steel.

I've had good luck with DeWalt bits, ditto on B&D. Both are on the pegs at all the stores around here, YMMV. Tool King here usually has the humongous DeWalt sets, they're online, too. The "Bullet" point drills work well on sheetmetal.

Some of the specialty wood working suppliers may have some other offerings, Rockler Hardware, Woodcraft and McFeely's are all outfits I've done business with.

As far as TiN, it's usually used to disguise tomato can-grade drills. Something about that shiny gold coating pulls folks in. Once it's gone, the twist usually unwraps. Look for black oxide or full polish, cobalt if you're drilling steel.
