Since 1974, James Gallagher has furnished museums, historic restorations and private homes with a variety of antique fireplace equipment.

Mall Drill AC-DC Antique Drill

This "Old Tools" mini-series has gotten pretty popular, so we went deep down and pulled out a drill from 1947 a Mall Drill Model 143-T one-speed corded drill. This tool was actually purchased when my grandfather got out of the Army right after World War II ended. He used it for his antenna installation business where it was employed heavily up until 1969. After that, this tool saw part time usage for the next 20 years. Check out the full dossier at: www.protoolreviews.com
