That is too cool for words! How many bits does it hold?

Greetings, all:

It says so right on the vintage package: No workshop is complete without
Dial A Drill!

Just a quick report on some of that old galoot magic. Recently,
ubergaloot Steve Reynolds posted about a need for a certain Millers
Fallsratcheting screwdriver. I happened to have one in the spares
drawer, not exactlywhat Steve was after, but apparently close enough. So
I sent it to him. We exchanged several pleasant messages and that was
that. Good times. Justas MANY galoots have done for me in the past. But
then a Priority Mail box showed up on MY porch, and it was from Steve.
You gotta see this thing. Dial A Drill is about the niftiest drill index
I've seen, and since the example Steve sent me is in the original
protective package, it's like brand new:

Basically, Dial A Drill works like the rotating top of a push drill. You
spin the lid around to access the different sizes. But the shiny steel
canister actually houses multiple layers of tubes, so it holds a LOT of
drill bits. Anyway, it's very, very cool, something I'd never
seenbefore, and it nows sits proudly in my shop. (Steve notes that this
tool haspassed through the hands of more than one other galoot, as well,
so it has a serious pedigree.) Thanks again, Steve!
