Surprised that no one has a Wolf Sapphire, a brilliant 1/2" chucked drill.First plastic bodied double insulated one I had.
The thieves had mine away in the early '70s
I have two, a basic two speed version which was a present and is still my basic go to drill and the two speed geared version with hammer action which I happened to come across for £2.95 in a York junkshop - it`s 110 volt but I built a 110 volt trans former from a faulty unit in a Philips stabilised PSU.
