Oops, In the few minutes after I Posted

about the ubid site selling an STP Tool Kit, it appears it was removed from sale. Capstone Police?

But the references to the item are still showing.

I think it's a Teac product

Here it's being sold as a Hyundai branded driver/drill set, with the mention that Teac is the manufacturer:

avantecom is the same outfit that is putting on the ebay auction.

3/8 not 3/6 or did you mean 1/2 not 3/6 or are you not familiar with a drill chuck size

Techsunny.com was selling the drill too

Here's a reverse angle shot (it shows the bit holder), with an interesting date on the picture, 2/13/2007

If we can believe the date is accurate, this has been brewing for some time. Note the printed manual too.

If I recall correctly, the deadline to sign up for that trade show was in February too, long before the STP/Capstone deal was announced.

Since I've only seen these tools on liquidation sites, I'm going to guess it was a product that got thumbs down from STP (they do have final say on what gets sold with their label) and the inventory was sold to liquidators. They were probably supposed to remove the STP label, or someone forgot to tell them that.
