SCREW HOLDER GIZZIE™

SCREW HOLDER GIZZIE™ Reviews & Ratings

Locks screws into place while you grind them off to length, file them down or shape the point. Saves untold hours spent looking for the screw the wheel flipped under the grinder, down the exhaust port or across the shop. Holes are for 6-48 and 8-40, but take most smaller and 'in-between' sizes. SPECS: Blued steel. 2-3/8' long, 3/8' wide.

Waste of Money and Time!
First of all, after realizing Brownell's 6-48 screws do not fit flush (as claimed by Brownell), I decided to buy this Gizzie to hold the screw in place while I ground it down to the required length of my Rem 700 BDL. Just discovered this gadget does not hold the screw in place for two reasons: 1. The head of the 6-48 screws from Brownell are a bit smaller thus allowing the screw to slip through the hole and fly across the room when under the slightest amount of grinding pressure from a Dremel. See the attached photo where the 6-48 screw from Brownell easily slips through the 6-48 hole of the Gizzie also from Brownell. 2. The larger hole on the second piece of metal is directly across from the smaller hole (6-48), thus there is NOTHING to hold the head of the 6-48 screw in place. I tried several options from covering the hole with my finger or with duct tape or putting the screw in either side of the hole. Nothing worked. Thanks to the worthlessness of this "tool" I lost two very expensive 6-48 screws in the process. I wound up using a large pair of toenail clippers to grip the tiny screw just under the head, pinching it with my left hand while using the Dremel with my right hand. Should have thought of this before since it worked like a charm. Bottom Line: Order at your own risk. Screws are threaded correctly but will require some gunsmithing with a much better tool than this Gizzie. Don't believe all the hype from the positive feedback. I'm returning it ASAP and I'll soon find out if Brownell backs their products. Very disappointed!
