I wish I had been around to buy that gun new....I bought it off a TEXAS Cowboy who I meet in Tulsa....RR

Yessir! They seem to be more sought after as more of the public has become educated and aware of their existence. I watch every one I see too whether I'm bidding or not.

I always put out at least one type of tool at every gun show I set up at. Most people are not aware of "The Ruger Corp." so it gets them looking also. The Bit Brace was my last purchase,,,

This 12" chrome straight handle drill arrived today from Stratford CT. All of my Ruger paperwork is boxed at the moment but I was hoping to find some information about the variations of these buried somewhere. The other chrome drill that I have has a handle with 5 textured rings encircling it. This one has a texture the entire handle length like my other two blued versions and far exceeds all of my others regarding condition.

Chuck,
That would be a restored Type II Hand Drill, it is 1/4" correct ? Good buy IMO. I was following it also but got distracted by the Ruger Corp Type I Brace Drill
. Thanks for sharing.
Your aluminum sleeved (pressed on) five band hand drill would either be a Type IV or Type V, depending on chuck size & crank style.
Best,
Terry

Thanks for the information, Terry! 1/4" is correct. I wondered if it was a restoration and must say that whoever worked on it did a wonderful job. Mr. Tyler has one of my pistol grip drills that was in horrific condition but dirt cheap. It's been with him for a few years now and I sure hope that it comes back as snazzy as this one.
