re: Hand drills

I looked at a couple Yankee push drills (71s maybe?) but they look like they use proprietary bits. I’d much rather be able to use a humble twist or brad point but. While I’d rather collect a vintage tool, that might not be possible for the push drill. Input??

So maybe I’ll also look at a MF 5 and see how that goes. I do like the open spoke look of that drill. 

Keep adding input, whether you think it’s relevant or not. For posterity, this is a good thread to load with information. 👍🏼
