“The finest bit-brace ever made. Holds any shape bit (round, square, any taper) in a vise-like grip. Ratchet works without calling for a hand to hold chuck from turning back. Does every kind of a boring job within scope of a bit-brace. Quick-centering, ball-bearing chuck. Holds round shanks up to ½ inch diameter, and square shanks up to 5/8 inch across corners used on larger bits. Ball bearings give easy action in your hand, enabling you to lock and release bits at a turn of the wrist. Famous ‘Yankee’ Ratchet. Finger touch on easy-acting ratchet shifter gives sure positive shift, and secures a smooth, silent, powerful ratchet. Bronze-encased against dust and moisture. Hard rubber handles. Unbreakable, won’t warp, shrink, bind, or crack. Top handle, steel clad, ball bearing. Patented ‘Yankee’ method prevents excessive play in sweep handle. Finish. Nickeled and finished in keeping with the perfection of its construction.” Item#4534 $105
