Some time back i was given this little hand drill by a friend, it came from a friend of his whose father passed.
Wish i had taken some before pics, but you know how it goes.
So i took it to pieces and put the metal parts into some Evaporust in my peanut butter jar and let it sit overnight.
When i say took it to pieces i mean dismantled the entire chuck and drive mechanism. It was seized up and rusted.
Here you can see how the chuck came out now, with all the rust removed both from its threaded bolt at the rear and all the chuck segments internally its smooth as a babys backside again.
Has a nice little compartment in the handle to hold bits. Should be a nice addition to my hand tool horde.
Had one of these drills many many years ago and i let it go because the chuck was defective and the springs inside were pooched so it never clamped a bit properly. This one now works great.
