Hand crank double flex angle drill

(1/1)

bonneyman:
Labelled JOIC, apparently a world war 2 airplane tool for drilling inside wings where space was extremely restricted (and fuel vapors might be present?)

I found a partial one missing the handle, then a couple years later found another complete one - I think it was a Proto, but I can't find the pics. More of a conversation piece really.

bonneyman:
Here it is with the handle scavanged from the other one.

john k:
Have one of those.   Marked PROTO,  handle is red, and most of the wheel is polished, maybe chrome?   Can't find a pic of it right now.   If you need it for a tight spot,  you really need it.

Is the red handle of yours hollow? Like to hold spare bits? I'm thinking I saw one and the end cap would unscrew off.

john k:
It is hollow, metal end cap, coarse threads.  Now that I think about it,  the geared wheel is stainless.   No bits in the handle, just some finish nails.
