I have been wanting to get a brace and an egg beater drill for quite some time, but never had the opportunity or need to follow through. However, I am now situated in Camden, Maine, which happens to be located near lots of antique tool shops.
Anybody have suggestions on particular models to look for, in terms of usability and repairability? Online searches suggest Millers Falls for egg beters and North Bros. for braces, but I thought it worthwhile to get some interactive opinions. Plus, I'd rather spend $10 on a good user than $100 on another drill where collectors have bumped the prices too much...
Also, any suggestions on what to look at in the drills themselves?
Thanks!
