Re: 5 ft. long drill bits at Home Depot!

["Crash Gordon" <webmaster@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I have one of those. Not only are t hey fun but they can be a real time
saver. I'll shoot from one side of a house (in frame stage) tie on a heavier
pull line and pull 5-10 openings at a time. And it's really cool to shoot an
employee with.

My guys still prefer tossers though, not me with my tennis elbow if I toss
too long I'm crippled the next day :-)
