22 Nov 21:
We needed to drill some holes so I comshawed Skipper's ratcheting brace and auger bits. Of course I first tried to cut the hole with a burnt up spade bit. Skipper inherited the brace from her Grandpa, and it has been passed along to our son, so it has been used by 4 generations now.
The brace drill can ratchet either way, for use in tight corners, or can be locked.
A shop tip is to drill most of the way through on one side, stop and feel for the pilot screw to come out the other side, then flip the piece and finish the hole in the opposite direction. This eliminates tearout.
