Since the 1st of the year I have been able to add these drills to my collection.



TYPE II Pistol-Grip Precision Hand Drills.






NOTE- The Type III 3/8" chuck does not have a RM on shaft. Type III 1/4" chuck. RM on crank arm.

That's quite a nice collection!

Looking at those from back then you can see Bill Rugers frugality/thriftiness and having interchangeable parts which helps keep cost down, thus reasonable selling prices.

YOU ARE ON FIRE!!!!
Very cool

Jay,
Thank you !
I have been lucky & I am also a student of the great "Certified Ruger Maniac" Radical Rod.
His class on "How To Win Auctions & Firearms Negotiations Every Time Guaranteed" is a sure fire winner.
The man is a genius !

Terry just keep your hand up and they will let you know how much to write on the check.......
Works every time.
And congrats on the nice links in that dam chain

You must just about have the market cornered. Do you find and buy any of them locally so you get to check them out first? Or all online? I'd think a local find might be even a bit more special.

LDB,
I have only found one locally, most have came from auctions.
Thanks for your interest & welcome to the forum.

Terry,

The 3/8" stick drill is unusual in that it is fitted with a standard crank, the ones that I have seen all have an adjustable two position crank, thus more leverage when drilling with a larger size bit. These are wonderful drills, thank you for posting the pictures.

Thank you. I used to accumulate Case knives. I liked the ones I found at random locations best even though they were likely the most "previously appreciated" of any. As for those drills, I think I like stuff like that as much as, if not more than, the actual guns themselves. You are fortunate to have this additional pleasure. Most don't and only have the guns, a loss to them.
