    To Paul Jones, saintrain. re: NortonDommi,
    Oh it caught on alright...ordered bullseyes for tap handles and cordless tools. However, loony contours of MY 20v cordless set are too stylish, producing a flat will go through the case. Can't imagine why corded tools remain more conservatively shaped, while cordless look like something from a kid's movie...no matter how many times used, stays a drill or a saw; not transformed into imaginary heroes.
    I'll have to make mounting pads with relieved backs; ala Paul Jones with the bulls-eyes recessed for a little protection.

    I have a couple of bulls-eye levels cemented to magnets very handy little gadgets but I hardly ever use them. Mostly because I don't think about them until I finished with what I was doing.
    When the subject comes to hand held power tools I have walls and tool boxes full of them and to this day in all my years I have never found a pistol drill motor that that I truly like the shape or angle the handle is made. For years I have wondered why couldn't the makers simply make the handles with replaceable grips make them bolt on like the grips of a revolver like my S&W model 29+ 8 3/8" 44 mag or my Colt 1911
    Never try to tell me it can't be done
    When I have to paint I use KBS products

    To Toolmaker51 (Does @Toolmaker51 work here?) Would epoxy putty work? Make the flat and attach in one swell foop. I was thinking that would have been a lot easier for me.

    Yup, Toolmaker51 is in the building, so to speak. 2-part adhesive is planned, hollowed back pocket providing 'volume'. I'll probably use rifle bedding compound. Challenge [tedious exercise for 2 different pieces] is approximating the contours.
