I like mine with shot and halve of Belvidere. It makes this Yankee feel Southern.

My late Father was always buying Yankee push drills at the flea market. He made a really cool display board with a couple dozen different models. If I run across any spare bits, I'll let you know.

I had to look it up. There is one around here somewhere. Like others here, things go to the wayside with cordless tools. One of the handiest drivers I have is a split tip for slotted screws. It locks the slotted screw on the end of the driver so you can get back into holes with out it falling off. I still use it from time to time.

also have an old hand drill that has a U shape to it with a big wooden knob on the end so you could put some weight on it whole you spin the handle.. same vintage. probably from the 40's or so. not to mention an old stanley hand plane. using those tools really makes you appreciate the cordless we have these days.

my old man and his brothers and dad built my camp in the early 60's with only hand tools. no power. when you crawl around underneath, you can tell. sturdy, but crude.

Brace and bit, still have a couple of those around too. Never use them of course, but just can bear to get rid of them - lots of memories of grampa using them. Painstakingly sharpening the bits with a whetstone, carefully wiping down with a bit of linseed oil when he was done before putting it away, etc. etc. Now I just toss the DeWalt onto the workbench when I'm done and hope I remember where I left it. Grampa would tan my hide.

Who has one still? Without Google, how many people know what one is? i have 3. 2 were my fathers and are from the early1950 . one i bought new in 1959.

i have heard the term brace and bit but never knew thats what i had. interesting. i have a bunch of old tools like that. some were my dads and grandads and others i think he got at flea markets in florida in the 80's. he was a switchman for the bell for 30-some years and i have a lot of his old school electronic stuff too. stuff for fixing relays like teeny tiny files and screwdrivers. stuff that will never be useful again but is too good to throw away.

I have bit of a collection of them. I have an adapter that allows me to use 1/4" hex They are as fast as an impact driver They don't ever have dead batteries. But ". More furniture has been ruined by them. " An instructor once said.

In the Blues Brothers, Elwood Blues uses one to get the panel off inside the elevator as they're going up to pay the taxes on the orphanage. Right before he torches the panel with spray-adhesive and a lighter.

My grandfather had one or two. I don't know that I ever saw him use one, though. Dam things are dangerous .If the bit slips out of the screw when pushing (which happened often while I was playing with one as a kid), it would sure gouge the crap out of whatever you were working on.
