Ahh, there are some lovely drills here. I love the Stanley, Alan, it's nice to see one looking so new. And the Bosch valve lapper. That EW model number suggests a similarity to the drill in post 1.
My first trip to a car boot sale this year yielded two bigger Wolf's. I like the smaller hand drills most, but now I am getting into drills I am appreciating the bigger ones, and had decided to look out for one.
Here is a Wolf 1/2 inch WD34cA, 550rpm, and the 3/8 NW 3cE, 750 rpm. Both worked straight off, (I will be more careful to check all the wiring before trying these things out) but I have fitted serviceable cables and cable grips. I used the smaller rubber hose from a washing machine, just the right size for the grips. The half inch will need a thorough clean up. £3 each. The chap selling told me they had come from a neighbour's, and he had weighed in a heap of them for scrap aluminium.
