Welcom back. I find this list to be relaxing. A change of pace from the
"real" world.

Funny you mention this. The other day I needed to screw a cleat to the
wall in my shop. I had left my <*cough*>cordless drill in the van and
needed to drill a pilot hole. I was going to go get it, but 4 inches to
the right of where the hole was to go, sat my Yankee 41Y Yankee push
drill. I had just cleaned and oiled it last week, shapened some of the
bits, and did a test hole. I figured I got it ready, might as well use
it for the pilot hole. Well... It took LESS time than the new tool would
have. I put it back and used the Yankee screwdriver (I always use one of
these. I have three on the wall with different bits and just grab the
one I need) to put in the screw. It all happend so fast I couldn't
believe it! Now- I know this is common sense to most of you Galoots, but
was a revelation to me. Guess that's why I'm still a GIT. Thanks,

Marc
