MM CU300 - which is probably cheating because it's five tools in a single box.

No question here... my PM 3520B (lathe).
I am naked and out of sorts without my pencil, a Pentel SHARPLET-2 and my Lufkin X46 red end stick rule.
That's a good choice Art. I certainly could not do without a Red Robertson. In fact, I have half a dozen of them so that I can always find one.

Art, I am happy to say that that has never happened to me. If it did happen, I would return the drill/driver.Doesn't it bug you when you buy a drill/driver and none of the included screwdriver bits are robertson?
I learned that the hard way. Having snapped my only #2 phillips bit then proceeding to strip a bunch of screws with a #1 before finally giving up and going out to buy a new bit.buy "apex" bits by the dozen...much better to have extras than to have to stop work and drive to get bits

Well I'd be lost without this... (eh, Stu?)

Now I have at least 2 of each bit.
My grieve is that they are not sold here, so now I'm left with the screw driver, the drill bit and maybe a dozen of different screws. I'll have to make trip to USA to buy hardware, but if I do I bet I'll have a really heavy suitcase to haul back home
Stripping? What is this "stripping" that you speak of?
Help me out here, my US neighbours... can you walk into any Lowes or Ace Hardware and find square drive screws yet?
