Detailed Description

Bring a piece of American woodworking history into your shop with this vintage PEXTO hand-crank eggbeater drill.

This classic drill has been carefully cleaned and serviced to preserve its original finish and honest age while returning it to smooth operating condition. The gears turn freely, the chuck operates properly, and the original wooden handles retain a beautiful natural patina developed over decades of use.

The chrome-plated shaft still displays the crisp PEXTO – Made in U.S.A. maker’s mark, while the original black-painted wheel and top handle retain attractive factory finish with expected age-related wear.
