Nice hand drill.

thx Lilly.

great image

Never seen one before ... Nice!

Why is Tom's drill......oh, never mind...

Great image, Aldege!

I thought the same thing, Joel, but didn't want to ask either.

Thx everyone,I was being vague as to why Tom's drill was in Lilly's toolbox on purpose so we could get these funny comments. The simple truth is that Tom and I had made reference to a hand drill in a past puzzle and Tom and I are probably the only ones old enough to remember hand drills.They are the prehistoric cordless drill.lol.

heyyy...who stole my drill

C-mon who would steal that old thing,lol.

Alright; I confess. Tom, I stole it to sell to the Smithsonian Institute as an antique. :)

I don't think Tom is THAT old; oh, you mean the drill. lol

It's ok Tom,you and I are old just from a numeric stand point,I doubt many of the young buckaroos on PBN could keep up with our stamina.lol.

Experience is everything! You two have got it.

hmmmm we could take on more, lilly lol

That's why Niki went for an old guy,her sisters are freaked out because i'm as old as her parents. I am so dying to call them mom and dad but they asked me not to.It's hilarious.

I have a drill like this. I've never used it.

I have used this type of drill in my childhood, and I so hated it I've never used one as an adult. Now, the brace & bit -- that's fun to use!

Joe why do you hate it? It comes in real handy for quick,easy jobs. I love it.

and has greater precision

Precision is important.

you notice the gurls know that

My father's hand drill was probably pretty cheap. Add to that the fact that I was small and had limited hand strength, and you've got a recipe for hand-drill failure.

I'm sure the one I inherited from my father-in-law is of better quality, but the Ryobi 16v cordless with lithium batteries that goes from 0-2000rpm smoothly is just so much more convenient. And it leaves a hand free to hold things.

I've drilled from precise 1/16" holes up to giant 2" holes with it with no problem. Using good bits is the key to success.

but can a Ryobi 16v love you back?

Joe's right a man needs a good hardened bit for great success,and I'm sure 16v's of Ryobi must feel like love to someone.

All I can say is, I think you guys are looking for love in all the wrong places.

lmbo Joe, how about behind the woodshed?

How about on the back deck in broad daylight with my wife.

I have a set of dewalt 18v's and i have a drill press, but there are some jobs where my hand drill is the right tool for the job. nice puzzle!

I think Dave's got it right. Variety is the spice of life.
