Drill Bits

[Larry Rose]

Does anybody know where you can buy bits for a yankee style push drill. This is the kind that has the little dimple (for the lack of a better desc.) on the side to lock them in place. The drill is handy around the shop and over the years mine are all lost or broken

[Dennis McDonaugh]

Larry, Highland Hardware has bits made by Schroder that they say will fit the Yankee screwdrivers.

I got a set of spares on *bay really cheap. You might need to track some auctions for a while though.

Larry, some older hardware stores may have some left from an earlier time, the ones I found came as a set in a little clear plastic tube with a black screw on cap. You just have to ask at the stores.

Thanks Jim your idea worked. I not only got a full set of bits but also a fairly cheap drill.
