A drill gauge has to be the cheapest cool tool in the box. Made from plastic it is full of holes all marked with their size. Good to check the diameter of a drill bit, machine screw, wood screw, bolts and rivets.
The size is hard to read with old eyes so highlighting them with a flat black felt pen is a great help. With the multi compartment drill bit holders now, it is easy to put away the bit in the wrong place, so having a quick check like this is an asset. Happy birthday tool person!
