I am selling all of my BCTW tools as I am downsizing.  All of the tools have been stored in an air-conditioned home while I have owned them.  Some may have tarnish on the brass, which is easily removed.  However, I will leave tarnish removal to the seller as some prefer the natural look of tarnish and some prefer to remove it with polish.

We are thrilled to introduce the sixteenth editionin this remarkable series—please meet the CT-16 Palm Brace—truly one of thefinest tools in our 25 year history.
We introduced our first palm brace in 2000, a small,hand powered brace that uses ¼” hex shank tooling. This edition, using the same1/4 " hex shank bits, is precision crafted from steel, stainless steel andaluminum. The swing handle, chuck housing and top knob are black chromed, aunique combination of form and finish that celebrates our woodworking heritageand a new visual aesthetic only possible with modern processes. It is astunningly beautiful tool that you will cherish with each use. The overallheight of the CT-16 is 8-1/2". There is a 2-1/4" radius swing. Mostof the small holes needed in project construction do not require a drill pressor powered hand drills. In fact, as many know, these tools make it easy todrill past your intent. Combine the CT-16 Palm Brace with our DJ-1 Drilling Jigand you can achieve accuracy that in many cases surpasses that of a drillpress—all without a single volt of electricity.
The CT-16 is without question the finest screwdriverI have ever used and it is particularly beneficial when inserting brassscrews—you can precisely keep the bit where it belongs while feeling the exacttorque to avoid trashing or twisting off the head of the screw. Drilling isremarkably fast and the bits are all positive locked in the chuck while exitinga hole. We have available all the common screwdriver bits, countersink bits,tapered bits, twist drills and brad point drills, self-centering bits for hingeinstallations and a countersink.
We guarantee that the CT-16 will be one of thosetools that you feel compelled to show your woodworking friends.
