Traditional 2 jaw chuck carpenter’s brace. Chuck not universal. Will only accept square tapered shank auger bits. Very high quality carpenters brace manufactured in Taiwan. Ball bearing race to end handle making it very smooth during use. Will only accept square tapered shank auger bits. My set has screw nose bits which are self-feeding & require no forward force during drilling. So, it costs as much as a cheap cordless drill. The bits are not cheap but can be re-sharpened with a 3 square file. My auger bits are very old & imperial not metric sizes. Very satisfying to use hand tools that still work!I'm a carpenter joiner by trade. The apprentice carpenters are amused but do like it after I let them use it.

The reverse lock is a little stiff, but it works. Might have to tap it with a screwdriver. Otherwise, it is a great drill.

My grandfather was a master capenter, used a brrace and bit every day, preferred them to electric drills, and for a reason. This one is excellent and gets a lot of use in my wood shop

Seems well built. Smooth action and easy to operate. Bought extra bits to have a variety of size choices.

WASTE OF MONEY!!!I had no idea that this brace drill would not accept normal bits. By the time I acquired materials for my project and tried to use it, the date to return had passed. I’m really disappointed since i will never use this. I’m looking at other reviews now - which I should have done to begin with. It seems others agree it’s incompatible but they have not changed the description to show what type of bit is needed.

A Bit Brace is a pretty simple tool, but there are a few caveats to making one that works. The but has to be in line with the chuck, and the chuck has to hold the bits securely. Other than that, it's essentially a bent metal rod. This one meets both criteria. It works well, is comfortable to use, and the chuck holds my augers securely. For this price point, I can't complain. A really nice drill for a very reasonable cost. For the amount of use I give it, if I wear it out, it will likely take a long time. Recommend.

[Sue's husband] I have long considered finding one of the old Bell Stanley braces for +- $125 but saw this one for under $50, thought it looked like it had wood handles, and took a chance.If feels very solid and well-made. The end handle is removable for lubrication. The chuck locks, freewheels, or ratchets clockwise or counter. The switching mechanism feels solid.I chucked my 1 1/4" Wood Owl hex shank bit and drilled through a 1 1/2" board no problem. I can imagine situations where a hex shank bit might not lock in perfectly, but my needs will never exceed that test, and if I ever change my mind, TayTools has an adapter for $20 which wil solve the problem.[/Sue's husband]

I received it today and tried it out with a 1/4', hex drill bit that would normally be used in an impact driver or quick release. If I screwed down the shell tightly, the jaws held the bit very solidly, and seem to even have a notch partway down the jaw that may be seating the butt end of the hex shank. The knob and handle turned smoothly, and the drill bit worked fine at the slow, hand speed, rather than the electric drill rate. The surprise for me was that it has a ratcheting feature that doesn't seem to be mentioned in the description at this time. I hesitated buying it because I thought it didn't have that. So five-plus stars from me.
