BTW, I'm not wholly new to old tools. As far as mine go, if it bores holes then its second hand. I've already mentioned my braces. My eggbeaters are from Millers Falls (Nos 2 and 5) and my favourite, which is made by Footprint, because it has a chuck key which means that it grips the bits better than all the others. The MF No 5 was a bit of a bargain from a flea market. I got it for €20 and the bloke didn't know that it had a set of bits in the handle.
Incidentally, I would love it if a modern manufacturer would produce an egg beater and a brace to the highest modern standards. The only firm that I'm aware of that has done that is Bridge City Tools but they command collectors prices. I'd love to have the BC egg beater thought.
