DETAILED DESCRIPTION

The Bit Buddy is a handy way to keep your drill bits close on you in an organized fashion. The velcro used to secure the Bit Buddy fits snuggly and comfortably around your wrist or the drill itself while you work. This in turn, enables you to work without having to make numerous trips to the tool box for the right bit. The Bit Buddy is comprised of velcro and stretch rubber. The Bit Buddy is similar to a watch, in that it wraps around your wrist and velcros securely. You then have 6 holding pockets for the bits to slide into. The pockets are made of the elastic.

Your bits stay securely enclosed on the wristband and are easily at your disposal when needed to be pulled from the pockets and returned to the pockets as you work. Therefore, never having to leave the job site to search for the proper bit to switch in and out of your drill. The bit holder will also attach securely around the drill if you do not want to use it on your wrist. The velcro attachment is able to be sized for every size of wrist. Just cut off what you don”t need. The bit holder has gone through several changes to make it simple, yet very functional and affordable. The name Bit Buddy was an afterthought to adapt a realistic name to the product.
