So This Is Christmas

Merry Christmas is such an infectious feeling I like to feel that way all year around.

So if you are visiting just before Christmas, just after Christmas or even here on Christmas day I am sure you will find something of interest for you and in the spirit of Christmas.

It may be said that Christmas is no longer a celebration but this must be spoken by people that have never had trouble closing their eyes on Christmas Eve in an expectation of what maybe left for them on the carpet under the tree.

I continue to look forward to the surprise on my Grandchild's faces to this day at Christmas events.

Merry Christmas - Merry Christmas - Merry Christmas

Useful Cordless Drill Accessories That Are Low Cost

By Peter Wu


Drill bit set, and socket bit set, are two absolutely essential accessories for a tool like cordless drill. They enable the ever popular cordless tool to do many diverse jobs and do them easily. This is because hole-drilling is a basic and common task.

Just the drill bits alone can probably take up a good chunk of space on the tool shelf. Here's a closer look.

1. Drill Bit Set

Look in a hardware store and you can quickly find at least 5 or 6 different kinds of drill bits. The cheapest and most common ones are twist bits and spade bits. There are also auger bits, forstner bits, masonry bits, fuller bits, countersink bits, and so on. You can use a set of twist bits as a starting kit.

The bits in a complete twist bit set can range in diameter from 1/2 an inch down to 1/16 of an inch. Bolts and dowels need holes drilled by larger bits. Screw pilot holes are drilled using smaller bits. Manufacturers use bolts or dowels to make sturdy chairs and tables. And cabinetmakers use long screws to constructs cabinets. One set is enough for all such tasks.

The bit adapter is square on one end to fit the socket bit, and hexagonal on the other end to go into the jaws of the cordless drill. Larger socket bits have 1/2" square back opening and smaller socket bits have 1/4". So you need two bit adapters for the cordless drill: 1/4" and 1/2". Once you have the bit adapter and socket bit in place, fastening bolts will be like a joyride - thrillingly fast.

2. Socket Bit Set

Tightening nuts or bolts used to be done by hand using a wrench -- a tedious task because hand turning is slow and finding a right-size wrench can also be slow. But a socket bit set and a cordless drill tool is quickly changing that.

The socket bits and a bit adapter work wonderfully with the cordless drill, making it an extremely fast electric socket wrench. When you see how fast a bolt is fastened with a cordless tool and socket bit you will probably chuckle. It's really neat.

The bit adapter is a short rod hexagonal on one end and square on the other end. It couples to the socket bit with the square end and inserts into the jaws of the cordless tool with the hexagonal end. The adapter can be 1/4" or 1/2", depending on the size of the socket bit.
