Yankee hand drill

(1/1)

Nolatoolguy:
I picked her up at a garge sale today for just a buck. Any info on this piece.

It reads 2101-12 1N, on the top horizontal bar.

On the bottom part it reads Yankee 2101 North Bros. Mfg. Co. Div of stanely tools Phila Pa USA

 

Papaw:
Cool! Now put it to use!

scottg:
This is widely acclaimed to be the best working brace design! At least as far as ratcheting braces!
 The ratchet is spectacularly functional and a good strong chuck.
 Bell system used them for a generation.

 It looks to be a 10" sweep. This is large enough to work a 1 1/4" bit, at least. 
  yours Scott
