    Glad to be here. I've got a really big toolbox.

    Welcome Paula. Good to see your interest in our comments. One suggestion that will save both your customers and your staff some time... Put the check box back on the order/delivery page to simplify requesting Canada Post. Seems silly to me that we have to call in to have your staff set that...

    Keyless Chucks

    Just the other day I locked up my 1/2" keyless chuck (brand unknown) when drilling with a S&D 13/16 bit. Strap wrenches won't touch it. Eventually put it in 6" vise with an 18" pipe wrench. No joy. May have to scrap both the chuck and the brand new bit. Bummer. I confirm that in my...

    Keyless Chucks

    Here are a couple of pictures. In hindsight I should probably have had the segmented side on the inside.
