Re: Show us your drills!
The first drill I bought was a Wolf 'Cub' in the late 50s and I seem to recall that it cost me £4-19-6 it had Wolf's own design of chuck that used an Allen key to finally tighten the jaws after they had been loosely brought into contact with the drill shank with the outer conical nut. It gave me years of service and would still have it now had it been returned after I loaned it to a work colleague.
The picture is of an Arcoy drill in I bought 1962 and its still in frequent use! It originally came with a 1/4" Jacobs chuck but I fitted a keyless chuck (same as the one on the Wolf drill at the top of the second picture in the first post). Apart from its very ergonomic design one of its best attributes is how close the chuck spindle is to the top of the drill, it allows holes to be drilled very close into a corner.
