    Also, one ends up with a bunch of duplicates. Just last night, while pawing through a tool bag, I discovered a near complete extra set of 3" long Torx bits.

    I'm thinking of repurposing them to make accessories for the drill and/or electric screwdriver. A file marks them so they should be machinable. Might require carbide but that's OK. Now the question is what to make?

    One idea I've thought of is an adapter so the 1/4" screwdriver chuck can accept the smaller 4 mm bits in the miniature set one also has to maintain to work on the ever tinier fasteners in modern electronics. The screwdriver has too much torque to trust it driving small screws but it would be great for removing them, especially the extra long ones used in some of the gear I have. Also, all the subminiature metric sockets I have use a 4 mm fitting so that's another application.

    Anybody have any other ideas for accessories to make? The low RPM of the screwdriver has to be good for something besides annoying screws. Slow paint stirrer? Hone driver?
