About an hour ago, I opened a package from Lee Valley. Inside was an
eggbeater type hand drill. Well made, smooth. Just had to drill a couple of
holes. Worked well. Think I will be well satisfied.

For Christmas DH wants a good manual hand drill. Eggbeater
style, with a side handle to hold if you want to lean on the
butt handle. He has one now that is junk: the gears don't
mesh smoothly and the chuck is skewed.
Recommended brands and sources would be *much* appreciated!

I'd suggest looking at flea markets, antique sales and such for an old
Stanley hand drill ($5 - $10) but, seeing that it's December 7th, you
may not have time take a look at what Lee Valley Tools has to offer:
