Quantity:
Though not inexpensive (there just aren't as many good brace manufacturers around as there used to be), this is a good-quality brace and is exceptional for both round- and hex-shank bits. Manufactured in France, the brace is sturdy and well finished, and operates smoothly with a ball-bearing head.
The three-jaw chuck, knurled for grip, accepts round shanks from 7/64" to 19/32" in diameter and all standard hex-shank bits. It also has the usual square-taper socket for conventional auger bits.
It has a composite head and grip. The arm has a 10" sweep.
