I had vague recollections of an egg beater drill hanging in my grandfather's shed. (He did some wood working/carving I'm told, but passed when I was 5 and my only memories are of him bed ridden).
Honestly, I don't know how tools survive here in PA (70% humidity is normal in my home town). But here it is. Mom hunted it down in the garage after I started asking about Grandfather's old hand tools.
In Austin, TX my tools seem to rust if I look at them funny. And my garage is insulated...
Anyway, I'll be taking this and a few other finds home with me on my return to Texas next week.
