Ditto for me on the mini Yankee. I tried to use it a few times and found it awkward. I use my battery powered Dremel if I have to drill a lot of holes. Roger Nulton

Some have proven very useful; many are so crudely made that they are essentially useless. I put their miniature Yankee drill in that catagory. The brass clamps I use all the time, though. I have them in three sizes. They do not mark the surfaces, and are easy to adjust. On the downside, they do not clamp very tightly without slipping. -Wes Ewell --- On Wed, 1/4/12, Bob Werre <[email protected]> wrote: I just opened a little on line buy one-=get one type sale. So I have a couple of question to those who may own these items and your experiences with them. One is the 26101 push drill--might this be an alternative to Bud's powered mini drill. I think the bigger version was called a "Yankee drill". The other is the 60929 mini clamp set. I have purchased some clamps that actually leave a mark in the wood surface and I have some xacto brand clamps that barely hold anything. Anyone using these particular style of clamps? Bob Werre
