CT-6 perfectly embodied John's Minimalist Artistic Approach in design and its \"Black and White\" simplicity created a new visual aesthetic only possible with modern processes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTwelve years later, with the inheritance of the legendary PB-1 and CT. 16, John Economaki created the brand new Palm Brace PB-2. PB-2 Palm Brace is a progressive evolution of PB-1 and CT.16 owing to John's continuous passion for perfection and the advancement of modern technology.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCompared to CT.16, PB-2 features a Titanium Brace Arm made of Grade 5 Titanium Ally (TC4) which Provides Superior Strength, Hardness and Light Weight. Secondly, PB-2 features the Complete PVD coatings of Titanium Carbide (TiC) on all surfaces with unmatched scratch resistance and Jet Black Ceramic Finish.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCombination drilling\/countersinking is equally fun and impressive with the PB-2 Palm Brace. It's very easy to accurately control depth, with a single drill\/countersink bit, you'll be able to seat #4-12 Flathead screws with ease and perfection. (Single flute counter- sinks work great in wood and non-ferrous metals.) Drilling is remarkably fast and the bits are all positive locked in the precision 1\/4”Hex Keyless Chuck while exciting a hole.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDriving screws with the PB-2 Palm Brace will \"charm your socks off\". It is a tool where you can \"feel\" the exact torque needed to do sensitive work, a really big deal with small brass screws. No more stripped screws, no more broken screws. Once you use the PB-2 Palm Brace to install hardware you will find a traditional screwdriver awkward!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAll parts of PB-2 Palm Brace are made of Alloy 303 Stainless Steel or Grade 5 (TC4) Titanium Alloy. The overall height of PB-2 is 8-1\/2\". The arm radius swing is 2-1\/4\". The Keyless Chuck takes all bits with 1\/4” hex shanks.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe guarantee that the PB-2 Palm Brace will be one of those tools that make you feel compelled to show them to your woodworking friends.
