Tool Type: Hand Drill
Model No: 1a
The Millers Falls hand drill number 1a is an early hand drill from the
Millers Falls drilling tools range.
The 1A has the distinctive Millers Falls patterned wheel design with
five shaped spokes which look like legs running.
This drill was made with a hollow Rosewood handle with a screw-on lid.
The purpose of this hollow handle is to store drill bits inside. There
is also a small knob on the wheel which is also made from Rosewood.
The chuck on the Millers Falls 1A is a springless two jaw chuck that
was designed to hold the earlier diamond shaped head drill bits.
The Millers Falls 1A was one of the earliest models of hand drills to
be sold by Millers Falls.
The overall length of the drill is 10 1/2 inches.

"Just stumbled across your website and an absolute treasure trove of information.
I was recently given an old Stanley 110 block plane and wanted to know more about it.
Your website told me everything I needed to know.
But there is so much more to read. I forsee me spending a lot of time just reading
page after page. I can appreciate how much time this will have taken to put together.
I just wanted to let you know that your hard work is appreciated."
