Since people are asking me about Christmas present ideas, I thought of
asking someone to get me a drill stand (as I used to call them).
There've been many times I wished I had one, but I never got one.
Trouble is, I'm not sure if my 30-year old B&D drill will fit anything
modern. Should I go ahead and suggest that someone get me one (after
I've looked at some reviews)? Are they no good? Will I need a new drill?

If there is nothing wrong with your drill just leave it be and get a
pillar drill of a quality to suit what you wish to do with it.

Even a cheap illar drill from Aldi or Lidl will be a revelation after
using hand drills and stands for them.

How many people make enough use of one to justify a good quality one anyway?
