Hobart 770086 Welding Oxy-Acetylene Tip Cleaner - Drill Type

Works great,great price

I already have a set of tip drills and had to get a separate chuck . I keep the drill bits in a old film tube and the small drill chuck in another box and inevitably when I need to use them it's search time.This I can keep in the package it came in and leave hanging on the wall ( I cut the side out the package, took the bit out and put it in the storage tube back in the package.This is a good idea if the drill chuck is durable and works well. It seems to be a good value for the money.

Product was expected

Awesome

The case, Jaws and collet were so poorly machined/fit that it is impossible to hold any of the small bits. The collet and case are such a poor fit the threads came damaged out of the package. The brass jaws were so badly deformed out of the package I could not even put a bit in it. I have a micro drill press and can use the small bits for tip cleaning if I set up a jig properly (lots of work and precision for this). I bought this to make a quick and simple job of cleaning a torch tip. This tool would never be able to function like that. Great place to store the micro bits though. So I consider this money spent for a decent storage place for easy to lose small bits.I am located too far away to bother returning this and waiting for another poorly made replacement so I just posted this review to help those who might consider getting one.

Works great as it should

All my other sets have a threaded cap to dump all the bits out . Disassembling the vise may be the new normal. Also chuck has trouble getting a grip

Made my job easy
