Hello, all
Over the years, I have read a number of favorable comments regarding the tight fit tool (http://www.tightfittools.com/index.html), so I ordered one:
http://www.tightfittools.com/tigfitdrilki1.html
In testing it, I noticed the drill bit wobbled significantly. I wrote to them and they promptly sent me another tool, no charge (I told them I would send the first tool back, and they told me to keep it...!)
The second tool arrived yesterday - same result ! I have written to them again, but they close on Fridays.
See this video:

Have others experienced this problem?

Carlos:
I had a problem with the first one I bought and they cheerfully sent me a second one at no charge. It fulfills its intended purpose and I am satisfied with it.

Carlos,
They open at 8:00 am PST Monday. Suggest you contact them again. Sounds like you are building up a reserve quantity of tight fit tools.
Good luck,
Ken

Well, Carlos, with just a few minor additions, you could resell it as a marital aid?

Mine does not appear to have the same problem (what appears to be a misaligned chuck). In mine there is some free-play in the whole “final shaft”. With a 2 inch long drill there is about 0.06 inch side-to-side free-play at the tip of the drill. This has never been a problem in actual use.

I agree with what Craig just said. The tool is loose but drills a good hole.
As a matter of fact I picked up more bits at SnF and they drill good holes in the tight fit tool also.

I thought mine was a bit sloppy too but it does end up drilling a decent hole. Not bad for a $40 tool.

<?xml:namespace prefix="v" /><?xml:namespace prefix="o" /><![endif]--> Hi Carlos. I also got one of their drills, and it also wobbled. Had some misgivings, but in actual practice, it drilled good holes. I'd say, try it out and see how it produces. Three years or so later, I'm still using it.
