hi all i love these they never go flat can use them in the wet and will always be their when you need it i got this of john its in good fetal for its age it just needed a scrub up and a re paint their is not much holding this lot together just one screw and one pin the biggest job was repairing the chuck two of its jaws was broken as it happens i had a smiler type of chuck but the thread was different so cud not fit the one i had but the jaws them selves are the same so i just swapped them over then started to re paint it no its not yellow its Orange it just looks yellow the biggest tip i can give you all when panting with enamel paint is to wame the parts to be painted as you put the paint on it will for the wont of a beater word run and this will leave no brush marks and light thin cots and i leave them for at lest 1 week before repainting right pics

Nice job Bob, yup those little drills are handy at times, i have a couple of quite old ones , there where many designs of these over the years, and some are VERY collectible and sell for $$$

I have at least two of those, one of which is missing either the jaws or the whole chuck. I remember using them as a kid before I was allowed to use power tools.

Great work, as usual Bob. Perhaps I should send you mine for some TLC.

are you actually going to use it? i have a hand drill, speeder bar style(i dont know what the proper name is) that i keep a countersink in. it works great but i cant imagine drilling with it or the one like your cleaning up.

i have another old one that i got because i thought it was cool but have never used it. you just push it into the work and it spins the bit.

Post a picture mike. I think you are referring to a brace (as in a brace and bit) but i could be wrong.

Okay, good man! I appreciate that "she" will have to wait til tomorrow but what about us?

[Highpower]

Yep. Sounds like a brace and a push-drill to me.

Yup Ed, those go back a piece but this one is an Archimedes Drill with a fly bar to keep the momentum up.

Bill, have you given any thought to converting that "Oldie" to CNC?
