Here is a demonstration of an early 1900's North Brothers "Yankee" No. 1545 hand drill. This thing is an awesome hand drill with two speeds, forward and reverse ratchet, double ratchet, and a spindle lock. This is an amazing bit of early 20th century ingenuity. It was made long before Stanley acquired North Brothers and is very well made. I use this as my go to drill for driving smaller screws and many other drilling applications.
