Do you want to give us a bit of product info Alex - so we know what they are and why we might want to buy them?

Are you talking about 5/8 shaft or size of flute

Using old tools packing would help in the handle to adapt them.

May sound dumb, but can anyone explain the benefit of this sort of tool fixing. The only time I have seen it before is on a Big Brother handle, but that was to enable the fitting of a smaller hollowing tool with a reducer.

I see the huge advantage in the versatility of your main purpose chisels can be interchanged for special purpose ones quickly, safely saving storage and handles if you couls see the plastic buckets full I have accumulated it would be easy to see the advantages in spades.
Good one Alex.

Thanks for the explanation Peter, I still don't see any benefit for me I don't have enough tools. Got rid of all my "can't do without tools" from the shows years ago. They just hung about gathering dust. Now I only have about 14 - 15 tools in my armoury, and every one is used regularly. Apart from my kelton bowl savers, and my big brother. Don't think I could be bothered swapping tools with a hex key every few minutes.
Everyone to their own, be a boring world if we was all the same.

Nor me Tam,
I can see it might benefit professionals who go through chisels quickly or to reduce the amount they need to carry to demos, but I fail to see what benefit it would be to me.

Feel I should clarify not the everyday ones only seldom use ones so changing handles piece of cake. As in the Army words to myself.
