Okay, please do not laugh at me too heartily. It has not been a good few weeks.

Bought these the other day,

This is the DSPIAE Precision Aluminum Hand Drill Set.

I have no idea on how to insert the bits. When put into place they do not lock in. The black do-jabber seems to be of some importance, but nothing tells this old man how it is used.

Please, could someone let me know? Thanks.

a SWAG says the the black handled item is perhaps a chuck key... now if you can find a place on the hand drill where it might insert? :hmm:

Are there any instructions in the box or on the box for the tool? Even if in Chinese, your smart phone probably has a translate app where you can photograph such writing and have it translated into English... maybe not Kentucky English, but hopefully something close enough :wink:

No instructions in the sealed package. Yes, there is a hole on the handle and it fits nicely in said hole. Didn’t try twisting it like a chuck key, though. Could be the solution.

I am referring to the man in the mirror at this point… :whistle:

My sister love to shop at thrift stores in her state where she lives (Maryland). Couple weeks back, she told me she got something for me. Not the first time she has sent me model kits.
Here's what arrived yesterday along with a graduation card for my son. My son graduated from SUNY Poly with a degree in Civil Engineering - Magna Cum Laude.

Tornado F3 is 1/144 scale - Dragon kit. 2 kits in box. Those will look great next to the 1/144 scale B-52 kit I did a couple years ago.

The HobbyBoss Hellcat is a 1/72 scale snap kit. Shouldn't take long to build.

Revell 1966 Chevelle Wagon kit. A kit you do t find too often.

Book on JFK and his PT-109. Its an old elementary school library book she picked up at a thrift store.


Yes, my son had accepted a job with the NYSDOT weeks prior to his graduation. He had been doing paid internship with them since he started going to college.
