The drill bit keychain rules, it’s great for shop work but I especially love it for working on a job site. My pockets and pouches aren’t full of loose bits to dig around for, I never have to look around to find where I put a bit down or have them all roll all over the place, or go and open up the case to find a bit, they’re just right there on my hip it’s awesome.

Okay I figured I'd find a couple of more stocking stuffers for my son who is getting into woodworking but what happened is that I had to order " two " of a few of these from Santa and one FOR Santa.

The thin rip jig seems really helpful; tools that make operations safer are always worth the price of purchase

[Lugnut]

The bit carabiner is the best thing that's happened to me in the last couple of years. I clipped mine on the harness of my tool belt and it goes everywhere I go. Best ten bucks I ever spent.

[t.e.]

You had me in the beginning. I thought, "Oh, no! don't end cool tools." My eye's weren't on the screen when you flashed "of 2024" I'm glad there will be more. And I'm going to definitely check out the carabiner. Thanks for sharing as always.

I received the carabiner hex clips from a friend. At first I was like ...ok. THEN I started using it and can't believe how much I LOVE it!! No more digging in pockets or going back to my toolbox.

Morning. Another great tool video. After seeing you wear them for so long, I recently purchased a pair of IsoTunes headphones. I was concerned that listening to music while I worked would be a huge distraction. But, at 70 years old, I realized that the first thing I turn on when I get to the shop is the radio. Then I turn it up to cover the shop noises throughout the day. Duh. They are wonderful. Not only are my tunes crystal clear, the noise cancelling feature is amazing. But, I can still hear someone speaking to me, I can still hear the machines to know when something sounds different and the music actually keeps my mind from wandering and I don't lose my focus. I also try to buy from local small businesses, so it's a win all around. Also, the Bow clamps look good. Their featherboards are great. I would love to eliminate my box of miscellaneous bench clamps. Thanks. Merry Christmas blessings to you and yours.

Love my IGaging thin rip jig. I use it often because I refuse to make thin cuts between the fence and the blade <shudder> but also because I don't have to measure to adjust the fence for every cut.

[Goggalor]

I make my edge band clamps with old bike tire inner tubes. Cut them about 8" long(experiment) and then insert the clamp pads a couple inches in each end of the tube. They work perfectly fine and they're way cheaper.

James, you are a treasure box full of great information. I appreciate your knowledge, wisdom and candor. You set a very high bar for integrity and, you meet it consistently. Thank you.

[johnmiller]

The bit carabiner might be just what I did not know I needed.

[karenstein]

Sometimes a tool is so useful, so simple that you’re amazed it wasn’t thought of centuries ago.

[dubya]

I love my hex bit carabiners! I have one in the house and one in the garage, for bits I use often in each spot that don’t have a home in a specialized box

[aball]

I have a few of the bit holders. I customize them for each task. I also color code them. For example all the red ones are Robertson bits, green are Phillips and black are torx. Makes it quicker to find the right bit.

[E.L.RipleyAtNostromo]

That thin rip jig really is a better mousetrap. Something I didn’t know I needed until now. And that Trend cleaner looks great as well. All good suggestions, thanks! 👍

[andrew_gardner]

That bit holder is a great idea. I had designed and 3D printed a small block to hold 5 bits to keep in my pocket while working with my bit driver, but these are even easier to keep clipped in an accessible spot.

My heart almost stopped at the beginning, but thankfully, you ended on a high note. I love❤ Cool Tools. You should NEVER stop the series., too many of us will be crushed. Thank you for introducing me to M Power, BOW, Taylor, Cubitron, and Iso Tunes among others to me and your audience As a newbie hobbiest it is easy to get lured in on equipping the shop with things that are unnecessary. James, I do not regret a single purchase I made from your channel. And my next buy is going to be those darn bit holders for me and my favorite contractors. May you have a wonder December and A happy new year. I look forward to learning more from you next year.

[johnpreber]

I took your advice with the ISO-tunes and am thrilled with them. I truly use them every day even when I’m not woodworking. Thank you!

[onsapplikasies]

Almost gave me a heart attack with "this is the last". I love these cool tools episodes!
