Thanks Luke! I'm in first and the $ has been sent. Need to get my buddies to change my nickname to Gearwhoremaster I suppose:-) I don't climb nearly as hard off the couch with no training as when I was a pup, but I can still buys me some gear!
The way this works is everyone who said "I WANT ONE I WANT ONE" will now say...ummm, well, ahhhhhhhh..............I'm low on money....ahhhh....maybe later. They spoke up when they thought that they would not be able to get one: ie, that they would be sold out and they would miss out. Now they think you will have plenty. But it's not the case you have to say. First come first served! I'm glad to support you even though I already have a Hurricane and don't need another drill. The quality of the things I have rec'd from you have been first rate.
Thanks for doing it, you rule.
ps, we need fluted drill bits, not carbide tipped, more than anything else FYI. Furthermore, those are a disposable item, much like toilet paper. Gone and none forthcoming.

Wow Luke, the box of 50 wrenches for the ASCA just arrived, and you donated them!! That's sweet, I was expecting to pay for them! They look great!
The funny thing is that the wrenches clanging around in the box sounded like something was broken, and there is a USPS note on the outside: "Received Possibly Damaged"
Cheers to Luke for donating the wrenches!!

Greg,
Those were donated by someone else ( I am not sure if they want to reveal their name...if so they can here).
Very nice thing for them to do! All I did was box them and ship them.
Thanks!
Luke

Skully,
The DA200 25/64" collet that somes with the drill will fit a standard SDS drill bit of a 25/64" HSS drill bit (25/64" HSS drillbit is what you want for 3/8" holes)
For drilling a 1/4" hole with a HSS drill bit, you would want a 17/64" collet I think....Do not quote me on that as I do not have one on hand.
Thanks
Luke

Nicely done Luke. I think I will be in for some wrenches.

The drill comes with 2 wrenches, and features a 25/64" collet (for SDS Bits)
• Made in USA. • Wrenches can tighten both 3/8" and 1/2" 5-piece bolts • The drill can use virtually any drill bit (with correct collet) • The handle body is made from heat treated stainless steel and features a hardened striking insert • Swaged, vinyl-tube wrapped wrist loop

Anyone know what is the correct collet size for 1/4 inchers and where it can be acquired?

Thanks to Skully and one other shopper for alerting me to my expired security certificate on the store. I was not aware of this issue and I am renewing it today. But do not worry, your order IS secure!
