50J0502 - Two-Jaw Brace
Though not inexpensive (there just aren't as many good brace manufacturers around as there used to be), this is a good-quality brace and is exceptional for both round- and hex-shank bits. Manufactured in France, this 10" sweep brace is sturdy and well finished, and operates smoothly with a ball-bearing head.
It is designed for use with bits that have square-taper tangs with short shanks (such as spoon bits, reamers, socket adapters, etc.), but also works with regular auger bits and round shanks from 3/16" to 11/32".
It has a composite head and grip.
WARNING: This product can expose you to chemicals including Nickel compounds, which is known to the State of California to cause Cancer. For more information, go to www.P65Warnings.ca.gov (opens in new tab).
