I have several of those older drill,and even one "Brace" type that was made in the 1930's to hold ROUND bits. I use that one when I am out in the "back 40" doing fence work. We used to call those smaller drills (that look like an egg beater) a "Hurdy-Gurdy", because that is the sound they make when you use them. I have two of those "Belly drills", and use them a lot. One of the best antique drills I have is an old "Post drill" It will drill through thick steel better than a modern drill press.

@oologahan I think they are Cool Pieces of Mechanical history.

Nice collection Dan! I have two hand cranked drills also but with closed gearboxes, two gears by shifting the handles between two shafts. I'll make a little presentation of them one day to show. Didn't hear what you called that ratchet, but my father had several of those, he worked as a builder. Sorry to say have none of them.

My Mom does the same thing with her bird feeder but she uses lard. She said watching the squirrels jumping on the pole and sliding down is so funny.
