Hand drills don't really come up much. With a battery powered drill with 16 settings and two speeds, this seems like one tool that is virtually extinct to all but the extreme hand tool purist or the collector.
I mostly (but not exclusively) use hand tools for furniture, even at the board prep stage, but I use my battery powered drill all the time. Pretty much every time I'm in the shop I'd say. Nonetheless, I will, one day, get an egg beater. It's a part of the traditional tool arsenal, it's another tool to learn to use and understand, and it's also... well... it's just kind of cool.
It seems like the Miller's Falls #2 series of drills was a major seller in its day, and, from what I can tell, is kind of like the "gold standard" for hand drills.
So there are some statements... Now I guess I'll just open it up for feedback on hand drills. Do you own one? Do you use it? Would you say it's better than an electric drill in any scenario? Do you recommend a brand/model or otherwise NOT recommend a brand/model?
You guys know the routine.
Interested to see what comes back.
Thanks in advance,
Luke
