GREAT solution – THANKS for the posting ! I use the threaded awl, but these are well worth adding the tool collection.

Thanks for the info. Never knew there was such a thing. They would be nice to have when you need them.

Gimlets are nessary if you ever plan to use cut nails in any construction. Got mine at Garrett Wade.

Bob gets to go to Lee Valley every Saturday… :-( Well I suppose there has to be adequate compensation for living in the frozen North beside all the brisk air.

Nice review. I have missed that as well. I look through the Lee Valley site all the time and say I want that, I want that…...

I could not imagine going there every week and coming back without maxing my credit card out. :)

MrWoody – thanks——I’m thinking if I continue to do boxes I need to get a set of these. It’s frustrating when you strip screws like that.

Interesting… but how are these better than pre-drilling a pilot hole with my cordless drill? Other than they don’t run out of batter juice??

I have been using my Gimlets for several years now and they always come in handy; I find them quicker to use than setting up the drill for a pilot hole.
