If you have one of the 115 bit Huot indexes

to hold the index for the #61-#80 bits. (I discovered this almost by
accident -- never read about it anywhere, but wondered what it was for,
and since I had a Huot #61-#80 index, I tried it for fit and was quite
pleased.

I've been damned annoyed by that hook for decades, in that it allows a
few drill bits to slide forward, preventing lifting the index on that
side until they've been slid back. Now I know!
