Occidental Leather makes a left handed drill holster... www.bestbelt.com/product/left/index.html

Looks like an old Black & Decker Scorpion bit, I don't think they make them anymore. Most manufacturers have drywall screw bits that are similar, but not as hard as the old Scorpions were.

I have several AT&G electronic screwdrivers - their quality is excellent.

I also have the Summit branded ones. No complaints in 9 years...

Congrats on the purchase! I absolutely love my Occidental Leather framer's rig - A lot of thought went into their designs, and the materials and construction are top-notch. It's a good chunk of money to be sure; I've called them "expensive", but that's a relative term. Can something truly be...

My experience was similar. The Stiletto 14 oz. drove 16d nails just as well as my 23 oz. Vaughan steel hammer. The Stiletto had a different feel for me, in a good way - like less vibration or something, and the balance was great. Also it didn't make a high-pitched ringing sound when it struck...

I've had good results with Hilti too.

Grobet files are top-quality - I have several I use for work (locksmith).

For me, it's magnetic pick up tools. And not just for wrenching on cars - I carry a ~4 foot telescoping Craftsman model in my tool belt at work; it takes up almost no space and weighs next to nothing. Now when I drop a screw or tool while working on a 6 foot ladder, I can pick it up without...

Exactly! And not all of us tool users work in neat bays with fully-loaded toolboxes at arms length. I install and retrofit commercial door hardware for a living, and while I own more tools than I care to mention, my tools on the job are usually limited to what I can comfortably carry in my...

As a Chevy man, when I saw "Vintage Ford Wrench" I was expecting an old hammer.. . :thumbup: Actually, that thing is pretty cool - nice finds!
