My trousers aren't falling down and I no longer worry about the straightness of my teeth, but I've been thinking about braces for a while as I feel like I should have one in my hand tool armoury.
I don't think I can go too far wrong with a Stanley brace and they seem cheap enough from the usual second hand tool outlets, so that's easy enough.
The hard bit (pun intended) is how to find a decent selection of auger bits. I'm probably limited to buying online at the moment and, frankly, wouldn't know what to look for if I had the things in my hands anyway. Should I take a chance on an online purchase of some old bits with a view to sharpening them if needed, or should I look at something new (e.g like this https://www.workshopheaven.com/star-m-combination-auger-bits-7-piece-set.html - would these fit straight into a Stanley brace or would I need some kind of adapter? Being able to use these in my cordless drill would also be useful).
Any thoughts would be appreciated.
