This is another one from my neighbor's basement. It looks pretty much like
a screwdriver, except the shank is tubular, about 3/8" OD, with a quick disconnect chuck on the end. The end of the handle screws off to reveal a bunch of bits. These are not screwdriver bits. They are like drill bits but they aren't twist drills. From the end they look quite a bit like a twist drill but only the end has helical relief. On the sides are two straight flutes, no spiral at all. The tool is self-twisting, i.e. when you push it into the work it twists. The only lettering says "YANKEE". Anyone know what this tool is, and what craft uses it? The bit sizes range from about 1/16" to about 3/16". GWE |
