At the beginning of the 20th century the drill was used primarily for woodworking. These tools were made of iron and were driven by hand. Their construction was very simple: a drill bit ending in a loop or a wooden handle. With these tools the work must have been a real struggle, which is unimaginable today.
From the thirties onwards, drills fitted with a mechanical mechanism appeared (known today as a hand brace). These were also hand-driven, but now through a gear ratio: the craftsmen turned a crank. And at the front of the drill sat a chuck, into which drill bits of various sizes could be clamped. What a deliverance it must have been in those days that one turn of a crank turned the drill bit up to three times! Machines like this can in fact still be found in our fathers’ workshops, and they sometimes still do good service for smaller jobs around the house. (During a power cut, for example, or at the bottom of the garden with no extension lead.)
From the 1960s–70s, with the spread of the electric motor, versions of the hand brace fitted with an electric motor appeared. These drills had one switch: press it and the motor turned, release it and it stopped. At that time there was still no speed control or reverse, which count as standard equipment on today’s drills.
With the drills used nowadays, the ability to adjust the speed and the direction of rotation is already expected, and every drill can do it.
So what else can a drill do? There is no need for new functions, so how can it develop further?
