Yankee-Style Push Drivers and Bit Adapters

The Amish choose not to use power sources; Thus, they frequently rely on hand tools. Yankee-style push drivers (spiral ratchet) remain popular with woodworkers because of the smooth action and control afforded by this style of driver. An Amish gentleman, who used a Yankee driver enough to know that it could be improved, invented a magnetic bit holder adapter that secures 1/4" hex bits in a collet.

• Collet includes a freely rotating collar (zinc plated and knurled) to allow the user to grip the holder close to the work piece for added control
