Most eggbeater drill bits are either MIA or in poor condition. And I have never found eggbeater driver bits. Today was my chance to fix that. It all started about 10am and current weather conditions dictated quick actions.
My friends at Harbor Freight offered me a free prize just for visiting and making a purchase. I bit. Here is my prize with the Goodell Pratt eggbeater.
And here is another essential handtool, although a hacksaw would also work.
Of course, the cut off edges are a little sharp and need to be dressed down. Filing would work but a grinder is faster. It is faster still when you chuck the Phillips bits backward in a hand drill and run the drill in reverse against the spinning grinder wheel.
The happy family.
Fits great.
I doubt the eggbeater would be helpful in high torque situations, but it should be outstanding for taking up the slack in bolts. A bonus is that they all fit in the handle. Double bonus is that I still have a pair of stubbies that I can gift to some ww buddy.
So I was able to finish this morning's project in about 15 minutes. Time to go inside and hydrate.
