Hello
I used to have a device I could use to hold my electric drill so I could sharpen etc. It was orange and black so I wrote to B+D with no luck. It was a large worm clamp that was attached to a plate with 4 holes in it to screw into the work bench.
Anyone know where to find it?
Thanx
Pete

Pete,

I've seen them at yard sales and flea markets.
This wouldn't be too difficult to make.

Yes, I'll make one up-I think yard sales are the only places left to find them. I got it about 30 years ago and thought it was a good idea. Lost it moving.

they used to make all kinds of spiffy drill atchments

I recently picked ap a circular saw attacment that chucks in a drill , havent tried it yet I doubt it will do much but for 1.00 I couldnt pass it up.

back when power tools where expensive the concept was you bought a drill and all these add ons and the homeowner had all the power tools he needed.
