Remember the days before electric drills dominated the toolkits of DIY enthusiasts and professionals alike?

If you grew up before the 1980s, you might recall a handy tool known as the Stanley No: 805 single pinion egg beater hand drill.

This quaint device, which has been lovingly refurbished and is still in great condition for use, harks back to a time when manual tools were the norm in crafting and repairs around the home.
