Kings County Tools Classic Yankee Style Push Drill | 8 Double Fluted Bits Included | Black Chrome Plated Solid Brass Material | No Chuck Necessary | Ideal for Tight Areas

This is the classic Push Drill that was once found in every shop and every job site tool bag. Made by Stanley for decades until they dropped it the late 1990's. We are now having it custom-made for us. This is a beautiful, fast-working, and very special tool, made of the same materials (chrome-plated solid brass) and furnished with original double fluted bits. Every woodworker should have one of these in his or her "quiver" because it is so useful. As you push down, the bit rotates clockwise, cutting the hole, When you stop pushing, the handle springs up and the bit rotates in the other direction - essentially self-clearing. The bits are stored in the top of the handle and are easy to access. Just slip the size you want (any one of eight - 1/16, 5/64, 3/32, 7/64, 1/8, 9/64, 5/32, 11/64") into the collet chuck, put the drill tip on the surface and push. Makes a hole up to 1-1/2" deep. The entire mechanism is protected inside the steel cover. Frequently Asked Question: How do you open the handle? Answer: Unscrew the thumb nut just below the handle until the spring pushes it open. It should take about 1.25 turns. Push the handle closed and tighten then thumb nut again to close. To load a bit: pull the thumb nut near the bit chuck towards then handle, insert the bit and twist the bit until it drops into the slot and won't turn any more. Then release the thumb nut. Do standard tool bits fit this tool? Answer: No. These are standard bits for a push drill, but they are not standard drill bits, which rely on a "chuck" to hold them in place. What is the shank size? Answer: The measurement is 4.5mm
