They were Rawl things. Still got mine and use it occasionally. Trouble
with them was getting the drill out of the handle. You banged it into
a hard wall nicely and then tried to remove it, and only then did the
bit slip easily out of the handle, leaving the bit as part of the
wall. Any other time even the largest metalworking vice would fail.

The one I remember was built as one item (no doubt the punch and
handle were two different steels) but the two were fused together
somehow.

Jolly little things.

They were indeed ;-)

All the best ..
