Review on Precision Drilling with Huot 12250: Fractional Increments for Accurate Results by Eric Garron

Revainrating 4 out of 5

quality product. Great time saver

Great product. Saves me time and helps a lot with organization. I needed one of these for a while but kept putting it off. I'm so glad I finally pulled the trigger. They are very useful when you have a lot of random exercises and you don't want to waste time on all of them. They also come in very handy when you need to drill a non-critical mounting hole. You simply take a fastener and determine the size of the drill bit it will go through. I'm sure we've all at some point pressed a fastener against a drill and tried to size it by eye, only to drill and see the hole is too small and sometimes too big. This sensor completely eliminates this scenario. I have a 1/2" piece of plywood that I do the same way with all my Forstner bits. This makes picking the right size really quick when you can actually take a piece and see if it goes through. any of the ones mentioned earlier be. Fractional sizes can be difficult to read as they don't contrast with the steel. I fixed this by lightly painting the entire sensor black paint and gently wiping the face. This leaves spray paint on the champlevé surface. and it contrasted with the light gray color of the steel Overall a great product I would buy another if I lost this one.

Pros
  • Holes marked for quick identification
Cons
  • Boring packaging
