Another Stunning Drill...
Better than New:
Restored Eggbeater Drills
by Chris
Schwarz
Our Visitors
Hi,
I have what I think is a 5 1/2 Goodell-Pratt hand drill.
I did some basic cleaning.
I bought it because it looked like a work of art.
Here is the reality:
The main wood handle is great but is stripped of its
threads.
The 2 speed knob does not turn.
The chuck springs are shot.
After seeing your work and especially the 5 1/2 you restored
I would like you to restore mine. Can you give me a
ball park price?
You responded to a thread I started on SMC a while back.
Since then I caught the bug and now have about 10 drills.
There is not many places around here to hunt for them so I
have been keeping an eye on eBay. I do use them on occasion
and find them, in some cases, better than grabbing a power
or battery operated drill.
Thanks, Michael Hinkel

From Our Customers:
Wiktor,
Your work in outstanding, thanks for a beautiful tool that I
plan on using often...
Bruce Shaffer, USA
Hi Wiktor,
My drill arrived yesterday afternoon, in good order.
It is, as expected, just gorgeous ... almost too pretty to
use. But use it I shall, beginning this weekend. Thanks for
doing such a great job on it.
Larry Gray, USA
Dear Wiktor, I picked up the
drill yesterday. It is beautiful, congratulations!
Thanks very much,
Rick Bowles, USA
Wiktor has restored several of
these drills for me. The quality you see in the pictures is
the same quality I have gotten on all the drills he
restored. First class work! I highly recommend him (but
don't start lining up for him until he finishes 3 more for
me !! :-)).
It is a joy to use these
drills. I keep several with bits chucked that I use all the
time. It saves time and they are a delight to use.

"I just received the tool, it is AWESOME ! ! ! Great Work
with the restoration. If you have a mailing list, please put
me in it and let me know when you have a nice brace for
sale. Thank You Very Much for Selling me this Tool."
Ricardo Druillet, USA
"I enjoyed talking with you the
other morning. I filed the gear hub down and checked it with
a feeler gauge until I had .005 inch. Now it works good. You
insight was right on the money. It only took a few swipes
with a four inch single cut mill file."
Bob Levister, USA
"The handle is a perfect fit
and a perfect match. Thank you for the follow up service. I
couldn't ask for better.
Wiktor, I've been pleasantly
surprised. Some of your restored hand drills have
found a place in my commercial cabinet shop as regular
working bench tools and not as collector items. They
seem to do a far superior job at some tasks such as drilling
out for door and drawer handles than battery or electrical
powered drills. There isn't the back side tear out of
the material that regularly happens with a power drill."
