Hey everyone, came across this hand drill and can't find a makers mark anywhere. Any ideas?

No, its just a regular hand drill, I have the same unit with the Craftsman name on it.

Note the end of the handle, its not correct for Millers Falls.  The drill shown stores the bits in the handle.

The chuck looks a little like the one on a Ruger Drill, but the handle doesn’t.

Definitely Craftsman. Check ebay.

Hello, Is the handle wood or plastic? That may help to narrow it down. I'm thinking Proto, or as earlier stated, Craftsman/Dunlap? Regards, Lou

The end cap is supposed to be plastic.  I have had more than one of these and the very fine threads go bad and the cap falls off.  The one I have is the only one I have found with good threads.
