Old rawlpug Hand cranked hammer drill, it works! Love old tools? watch this 70 year old vintage drill go to work, does it work? yes it does in fact its awesome!
I bought this vintage hammer drill from a car boot sale for £10.00 and wanted to test it out on drilling into bricks flint fossil stone and concrete
not being able to find any kind of video showing how these things worked.
I decided to film the results of testing it out and it actually worked quite well!
no batteries required, this was the rawlplug patented mechanical hammer from around the 1940s era
it has a hand cranked spring mechanism which turns and strikes the drill bit making easy work of drilling a near perfect hole ready for plugging with the fixings full restoration potential

When your buddy asks if you have a hammer drill he can borrow. I sure do!

[@bluejgo]

this drill is gonna worth 500 times more in the near future! good investment

[@MalcolmJames-sg3zg]

just shows how we take technology for granted lol THANKS FOR SHOWING THIS VIDEO

[@shelbyseelbach9568]

Exactly how does this show that we take technology for granted?

[@marvingoodwin1]

Watching this makes me even more thankful for my Milwaukee M18 sds plus hammer drill.

[@kareemabdul7582]

Wow I would love to work one of this

[@zackzakaria2269]

Cool old tool 😎👍 We should be glad and thankful to how easy electricity delivers to most contractors, electricians, and etc via the electric percussion/rotary drill..

[@Instone09ine]

Very well said Zack😊

[@terrandroid]

it takes a while but you'll get there at some point

[@mk810]

the strength on the average guy back then must have been crazy

[@pointedspider]

Very cool old tool. Well worth your dollar

[@Instone09ine]

Hi yes it is cool. been thinking, should i ever need to drill underwater it's going to be perfect😉

[@happycomfort3026]

Cool old tool!!! 😁👍😎

[@Ian-Hall]

I've got one. Also Al Capone's favourite drill.

[@bencepolgari6903]

They forget put on the shoulder rest. Could more efficent a drill which you push by legs, just need a very long handle and 2 pedal

[@paulb9769]

Compared to my Dewalt Flex volt the difference is crazy.

[@UpcomingJedi]

You should make the shoulder brace for it. Or would it become illegal in that configuration there?

[@Instone09ine]

It probably would be illegal here😊

[@olpallix]

Exactly. The brace would stop the wobbling and you’d get straighter less chipped hole

[@Biophotogenesis]

Some space alien shoes but nice drill

[@Z_BoyPanduh]

So this is how the peeping toms made their spy holes!!!

[@jrk1666]

with a stock is 10x times better, still very good without one tho

[@thedaredevilarena5427]

My grandfather had drill bit of it but not the hammer though

[@sahilsquadron2286]

Thats the original way, hit it with a hammer then rotate the bit and hit again

[@malcolmjames7388]

Never seen one before,Thanks for the video, I wonder how they got on , On a building site. I don't think I would have paid 10 pounds for it though.?

[@Instone09ine]

Thanks Malcom, i was very surprised at how well it works! i'm going to try and find a way of putting modern masonry bit into it, or maybe even fitting a power drill where the handle turns? for some super percussion drill fun 😀

[@sahilsquadron2286]

If you consider the alternative in those days im pretty sure you would have, would you rather sit there all day with hammer and drillbit hit rotate hit rotate hit rotate rinse repeat.

[@michaeltreadwell777]

I know it's not your fault, but it looks so cack handed seeing it used left handed. A handu tool though :-)

[@неболаја]

U r using it wrong

[@Instone09ine]

see what it can do with battery power !! kzbin.info/www/bejne/gWXXY2SOaNGqoNE

[@jeremykiahsobyk102]

You drilled through a fossil to test it? Boo

[@videos40058]

paid 10 to drill your brick of your house. Very bad idea mate.
