Before portable electric drills became common, hand-crank breast drills like this Craftsman example were essential tools found in workshops, garages, farms, and woodworking shops throughout America. Using a geared mechanism that multiplies the speed of the hand crank, these drills provided remarkable drilling power and control while requiring no electricity. Craftsman, one of Sears' most respected tool brands, produced durable hand tools that became staples of American households during the mid-20th century.
