It says "5/32 shank". Bizarre. There are some unusual bits in there. Triwing, for
one. 5 pointed
star -- haven't seen that before.
Yes, that's why I considered maybe at least looking at that.
I recently ordered a security bits set from Harbor
Freight. Stuff
like torx with a hole in the middle... nice to have.
I know, I need to get some of those too. One place I recall using them was
for an IBM external floppy drive enclosure -- though they used standard
philips-head screws in some of the holes. I got them out finally and
threw 'em out. :-) It'd be nice to be able to deal with them easily though.
