    How to re-handle your hand drill

    Hi to all,

    This hand drill was gift from a friend; I found it very useful especially for occasions were a drill press could probably damage my work.

    I used it a few times but it felt like I used a toy instead of a tool; so, I set the drill as my new project.
    Now, I don’t know if I can call this project restoration or improvement, what is for sure is that it works and looks much better than it was. I hope you enjoy the video.

    Cheers
    Dimitris

    These sorts of tools still come in handy. I have a small collection of these old drills and braces very handy for deburring.

    Looks like an excellent improvement program for this drill.

    Thank you wizard69, glad that you like it!

    It’s a neat little drill ideal for chamfering or deburring tiny holes where a drill press can ruin your work. I would really like to have a few different styles (preferable old ones) in my collection.

    Cheers
