The Hand Brace is very good and well built, as are the Auger Bit Sets. The only problem I had with the Hand Brace was a little rust on the inside of the chuck - maybe due to the high humidity these days in my studio -, but I removed the rust without much effort. Well, good tools in a great combo at a good price (not so good for me because of the import tax of over 100% charged here in Brazil nowadays, but that's not WH's fault, but the politicians here). And the service at Workshop Heaven is very good! Molly was very kind. Thanks Molly and WH!

Good quality tools. The brace arrived 'factory fresh' and needed a spot of grease on the chuck thread but it will wear in with use. The ratchet adjusting collar is a bit more agricultural than you will find on a vintage Stanley but it works fine. I'll probably replace the plastic handles with wood, but that is just a personal preference and I've some wooden ones sitting about looking for a new home. In all important respects it is a great tool and, for my purposes, better than the available alternatives. The auger bits are lovely and when used with this brace deliver the clean and controlled cut I was searching for. I am happy, and the tool chest is in better shape.
