    Thx again James for another Cool Tools episode. Your recommendations are always on target. My fav example is the Milescraft Drill Mate. I’ve found it so handy to be able to take the tool to the work for large projects. It also seems just as functional as alternatives costing 7 to 10 times more. Both Milescraft & Powertec have saved me lots over the years (or course I’ve spent the savings on other tools). Thanks too for the shoutout to Taylor Tools - a great small business w/ a wide range of useful, reasonably priced products; an especially to Ridge Carbide blades & Whiteside router bits. Ridge Carbide & Whiteside cost a bit more up front, but they’re worth every penny in the long run.

      Buyer beware: squaring up that drill guide so it odd truly cutting a good perpendicular hole is a pain. Mine appears to be the model shown in this video; it has inaccurate detents near 90, but not exactly right, so it always wants to pop into the wrong angle. For this reason, I rarely use it and it just takes up cabinet space. I’d recommend spending a little more for a better quality option. Good luck!

    My son gave me a dead blow mallet to use in the kitchen. I have bad shoulders and had gotten to the point where I couldn't cut hard things like winter squash. I use it more often than I thought I would. I hold the handle in one hand and tap the top of the knife with the hammer. Once the knife is embedded, I tap the end opposite the handle with the hammer.

    I've been looking for a drill stand like that for a while, and every single model I've seen has reviews complaining about wobble and poor build quality. The Drillmate does seem like the consensus "least bad" pick though, so I'll give it a try.

    6:50 made me pucker a bit, I think it is the camera perspective that made it looks like your wrist is close to the blade.. Nice tools tough, will take a look for some of them.

    I have that milescraft drill press. Only used it once and wasn’t impressed. I don’t remember what I was even doing with it. I never thought about making a base for it. That seems like it would be a game changer for this tool.

    I keep wanting to purchase the drill mate. It's not too pricey, I'm just constantly trying to justify the cost. I have made quite a few adhoc jigs to accomplish the few times it would be handy. I'll just put it on my wish list for Christmas, and see if Santa can be nice to me :)

      Prepare to be disappointed. I didn't find mine all that good. Useless tiny chuck, sloppy guide rods, stiff springs.

    Uh oh. More stuff for my wishlist. But for a versatile driver, I prefer the Mega Pro ones that come with 7 reversible bits in the handle for 15 function. They have different ones with different driver bits, all color coded.

      It took me a few years to really get it. Let the tool do the work. It works better and safer

    I bought the Milescraft DrillMate, and the first time I tried the self-centering feature, the hole ended up 5mm off-center. After realizing that, I drilled other holes in a scrap piece to make sure I hadn’t just placed it wrong the first time. All results were the same.

      And it has this teeny little micro-chuck so you can't use larger drill bits. And it's actually kinda bendy. I own one and don't find myself using it as often as I expected because of those things.

    Careful with the DrillMate. I hit a knot inside the wood, the bit jammed and spun the drill, causing it to jam my hand against the DrillMate. Didn't feel great, luckily nothing broke, but there was enough force there. Maybe lower the clutch to be safe and don't have it on drill mode

      That would have happened with a handheld drill by itself. It's happened to me.

    Installing door hardware on pre finished doors the drill guide was mandatory. Don’t want fiber blowout on door closure sex bolts.

      It's a keyed chuck. I can't imagine the bits coming out if you tighten it well.

    I bet you could 3D print those gadgets that attach to rulers (but I bet the real aluminum ones last longer and operate smoother :-).
