    Default Yankee 1545

    Hi, i have been gifted this tool from a mate whose a working pro Sharpener with no space for non essential tools.On search Vann has already posted a thread about restoring one, showing what an engineering masterpiece it is. You tube post showed me the functions options , patented 1913 , sold to Stanley 1945 so that is the range of ages. It is the prince of eggbeater style drills heavy duty, mine works perfectly not rusted , amazing , thanks Ross

    They really are fascinating. Especially when in the double ratchet function .

    One of the best eggbeater drill designs ever, in my opinion.
