    Stanley breast drill

    A friend stopped by to show me his garage sale purchase. We were both curious what the swivel part that is held by a screw detailed in the second photo was for or held. Saw lots of pictures online but no explanation.34245CB6-1EEC-4E10-B660-585684856C8E.jpgAA97E4B3-0964-43E7-9E67-7C6BAA39E28B.jpg

    It is a two speed drill and the swivel holds/locks the red drive gear in the hole. Remove the red drive gear and insert it in the other hole and the speed is changed.

    I was not aware this was a feature until you pointed it out. A pretty ingenious solution to give two speeds for when the application dictates it. Thanks for the education.

    Thank you. I agree with Ronald, pretty ingenious.
