1 own a very fine tool called the Versa-Matic which I purchased some two decades ago. It's a reduction-geared screwdriver which can be operated either hand held or chucked into a drill. It both drives and removes screws, with either the upper or lower hand-held portion permitting the hand to serve as a clutch. At one time, Sears Roebuck sold kits that included bits for the Versa-Matic.

For several years, I've attempted — without success— to find replacement bits for this tool. Any lead would be appreciated.

Recently I acquired a Montgomery-Ward "Power-Kraft" jig saw, model number FD2355A. I'm looking for the operating instructions, parts manual, and service manual for this unit. I would be willing to pay for a copy of these if anyone could help me out.

I would like very much to know where 1 might find a working adjustable dowel cutter which can be used on a ³/b in. or larger drill. The one I've borrowed from a local friend (who doesn't want to sell his) has a name engraved on it: "The A. A. Wood & Sons Co." with no address. I'm told it is no longer being manufactured or offered for sale. It cuts a dowel diameter from V* in. to !'/« in. and up to 2'/i in. in depth.

I've never seen one offered in the many tool catalogs I get, nor in any hardware store I've been to. I tried locating the company's address in the Thomas Register to no avail.
