Drill Bits and a Pin Vise
--------------------------------
|
|
This is my very well used drill bit set with my Pin Vise further below. This is pretty straight forward, but I felt this is another basic tool that saves time and grief. These drill bits are pretty tiny and they do break....especially the tiniest one size #80 (I buy a few of the #80's at a time because they break that often.

My one complaint about my Pin Vise is it doesn't close up enough to hold the tiniest drill bit (size #80). So, I must resort to using a drill chuck in my pin vise when I use the #80 drill bit. My friend has a better quality Pin Vise and his will easily hold a #80 drill bit without resorting too using a drill chuck in his Pin Vise. It seems not all Pin Vises are created equally.
