If you have one of the 115 bit Huot indexes
(fractional, number, and letter sizes) you may have noticed a bent up
hook in the letter size section. It turns out that this is just right
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!


And -- if you have the #61-80 index in there it reduces the
amount of hooking that occurs there -- not totally, but a significant
improvement.

Enjoy,
