[vcf-midatlantic] Next set of tools being upgraded

[Duane Craps]

Second on the Chapman set:

Chapman Model 6810 27-Piece Deluxe Screwdriver Set Torx Bits 
(midwayusa.com) 
<https://ads.midwayusa.com/product/1007027625?pid=791157&utm_medium=shopping&utm_source=bing&utm_campaign=Gunsmithing+-+Tools%2C+Jigs+%26+Fixtures&utm_content=791157&cm_mmc=pf_ci_bing-_-Gunsmithing+-+Tools%2C+Jigs+%26+Fixtures-_-Chapman-_-791157&msclkid=77de464da6b81bd5f83b26a6c260a33c&utm_term=1101100736028>

My set is about 25 years old.

There were places in some some equipment where that fine toothed ratchet 
really came in handy.

Not only are the bits excellent, not only do they fit in a tiny ratchet for hard-to-get places, not only can you use the knurled ends of the bits to start fasteners, but you can also place the ratchet on the extension for the screwdriver handle, which lets you apply pressure into a ratty fastener while turning with the ratchet handle. Kinda like a speed wrench with more mechanical advantage.
