I'm considering taking another step in the Neander direction and getting one or more hand drills -- probably vintage, just because I enjoy those sorts of things. I have my dad's old Craftsman brace that I remember him using on occasion back in the 60's, but I'm happy to just put it up on a shelf as a keepsake, if it's not the best working choice.
So, any advice for the best choices for hand drills? What's the most useful type: Brace? Eggbeater? Push drill? Desirable features? Best brands?
