KBC Power Chief

Black and Decker Special Drill

A Black and Decker Special Drill, not made in Australia (made in England), but a beautiful example of early electric drill design. This one has no provision for an auxillary handle so holding after long use may have become problematic, both because of the weight of the object and the heat created would have transfered directly to were your hand would be placed. Notice also the switch is not a trigger but a slide on the top of the handle.

I have just uploaded the latest version of the history of Sher Power Tools. You will find this by clicking on the SHER tab just below the main title. If you think there is anything that needs to be added or corrections that need to be made I would be very greatful to hear from you.
