1/4 Drive Chuck with Collets

cults3d

Here's a little gadget I came up with for holding small drill bits. It's got interchangeable collets that can fit bits of 1/32, 1/16, 1/8, 1/4, and 3/8 sizes - although the 3/8 one is probably too big for this tool, so it's more of a novelty. Each collet has its size marked on it for easy identification. You'll also find a handle that lets you use it as a manual drill bit holder. It fits snugly in my cordless bit driver. Simply pick the right-sized collet for your bit and pop it into place, then screw everything together until it grips the bit tightly. After that, just go ahead and drill to your heart's content - just don't plan on using it for any high-torque jobs, since it's made of plastic.
