Good idea Bob, nicely shown.
Very useful with the 3 jaw drill chuck, makes it very versatile

I agree. Very useful tool.

Admit it Bob. You just wanted to sneak a little woodworking in on us, didn't you? LOL.

I agree, those are handy tools to have. I use the countersink / deburring cutter in mine quite often as well.

Hi Bob

When you showed me those hand chuck when i visited your shop ,,thought i must make a couple ,,,,,,, came home dug out two chucks from the back of a draw ,1/2 and 3/8 ,, found a couple of UNF bolt that screwed in the backs ,,,,then found i had no handles ,,,,,,,,, so plan B ,,, i am going to use hex bar

Rob

Nice...

thanks all rob thats a good one to it will stop it from roling off the work bench its the most vertile tool i have made its grat for holding smal parts for polishing

Grabbed 20 minutes in the shop tonight

I used a bit 1' 1/4" SS hex for the handle ,, using steel for the handle means i can mount it in the bench vice if needs be ,,,,,,,,,,, may make one for the 3/8 chuck tomorrow

Cheers for sharing your idea Bob

Rob

well dun rob never thort of that holding one in a vice
