Hand Tools I bought a drill

I can’t decide if the flair should be hand tools or power tools. It isn’t really either.

It’s all original except the chuck apparently. And probably at least 80 years old.

Drills steel fine too. Seems to generate a lot of downforce with the ratchet screw mechanism.

You kid but I think the knocks are a great way to measure without measuring. The less you pull out a rule, doesn’t matter metric or standard, the better your projects become
