that tool was passed down to me from my grand father. it was issued to him from the local phone company back in 1963. i only know this because he etched the date on it. its on display in my micro shop. thanks for the video!
inwoo park not that exact one in the video. but one like it, same kind
inwoo park he's not saying he sent it, he's saying he has a similar tool on display in his shop.
Drilling holes in the walls just because you got a new toy, love the enthusiasm
Reminds me of when I was a kid.
Trollop lol
Excited to see what else is in that box!
For those looking, it's NOT the 998, it's a 993!
Look for the
Stanley 993 Corner Bit Brace
Dapper Brick -Millers Falls made quite a few of them also. The one I have is a 502.
Cathal Garrad it's a plate nothing to do with drilling holes ha, gay! at least a shows tools you posted something pointless
I also spotted that it is 993, not 998 and that 998 is a Triple Surface Corner Brace. :)
i wish him good luck with the surgery
For those of us that are not "of the clothe", we still will wish Big Lou all the best.
We hope that his doctors are fully educatated in modern science and medicine so they can treat his infirmities to the best of their abilities.
Went to write a similar comment and couldn’t have worded it better myself
What a waste
1997: "it's a book"
2017: "wow look at this thing it's beautiful. there's nothing like a real book"
Beautiful books were beautiful even in '97. I remember going through our town's library and enjoying those beautiful, old, leather-covered books with satin-like ornamented inner face of the cover for the first time as a kid in the 80s...
Fuzz FM but

Books are what enabled us to accumulate our knowledge, and should be treasured!
Not needing a battery is a big advantage as well, yeah?
2037: "a book? whats that?"
Fuzz FM omg you know books arent being used that much because there is better technology out there
Best wishes and prayers to your friend Lou for safe surgery and speedy recovery.
Cody - great content - this actually lives up to the title as that *IS* the strangest looking thing I've ever seen you test as well.. . Thanks. Our prayers and good thoughts go out to your friend Big Lou.
Such a great channel. Passion is just brimming through your voice .
Love seeing older tools like that! You can tell they came out of necessity and comments back from the tradesman! Thanks as always!
Thanks to you and Ken for sharing. Never seen one of these. :-)
50 years ago, I was assigned to clear out an uncle's shop. In my early twenties, I wasn't interested in hand tools. If I didn't recognize it or know what it was... Today, it makes me sick to know what I took to the dump.
My grandfather was an electrician from the 20s to the mid 60s and I believe there is still one of these monstrosities hanging in his workshop.
Awesome and rare tool Cody. I had never seen one of those. Now I will watching closer for one of these and the extensions. Thanks for sharing the tool, your knowledge, and the tool bible. I will be looking for a copy of it as well.
Can't wait for more. Love learning about old tools!
just stumbled across the channel. Great stuff. subscribed!
My grandfather owned a drill like that. He went from Austria to Canada with my grandmother and there he started working "building houses" - as he liked to tell me. My grandmother meanwhile worked as a sewist in a factory. When they got back to Austria he brought some amazing tools with him, which I still love to use. Not only because they're great craftsmanship, also they all carry stories of hard work and simpler times with them.
all the best for your buddie!
And keep up the great work.
greetings from Austria.
peace.
I wish you had this kind of attitude in all your videos, its very enjoyable watching a video where you genuinely feel attached too. Opposed to videos that we can tell you didnt want to do, but did bc we wanted you too. Thanks!!
The extra handle might possibly be for a helper to help with the forward force.
I started on the Telephone company Line Crew in 1977. We used a brace & extension like you have to drill holes in the poles & install through bolts for cross arms, & down guys. We didn't need the corner brace very often, but when we did, it was the only tool that would work. I had not seen one in years. Thanks for the video.
Very interesting indeed. Thanks for showing this.
What a wonderful peice of history. I love finding pieces like this and trying to find out what they are. Thank you for sharing.
You know, I spend so much time on UA-cam lately, constantly looking for new videos on knife making, and new or old techniques for knife making, and I ALWAYS end up at your channel. After seeing this video, it's time I subscribe! I love the things you do in your videos, and I love that they are simplistic, yet technological and informative! I will be back! Again!! Thanks!!
hello,
that other handle is supposed to be used when drilling holes vertically alongside wall.
So one handle for horizontal holes(as shown in video) & other for vertical holes.
Please correct me if I'm wrong.
Sangram Singh Rajvi and it rotates because why make 2 different handles when you have a big box of them In the factory
I initially thought it might be to get behind when drilling big hard wood or need more pressure due to angle.... after all, everything was hard wood way back when ;)
Thanks for sharing and enlighting me !
Great idea, would really enjoy seeing more videos showing off unique tools.
I have a similar drill at home and I think the second handle is there for support and a kind of way to aim but ALSO so that you can pull it back out. I have just noticed that those old drills tend to get stuck sometimes. Thank you for your video.
Praying for Lou from NZ- Rev Karl
Thanks for sharing Cody, Philia
Really brilliant piece of equipment. Thanks so much for sharing.
Very interesting! Thanks for sharing!
Cody, I love your channel, it's so interesting to see how you guys live, your reviews are fun, and plus it's cool to see how you use old hand tools and stuff. Also you're firefighting adventures are fun and entertaining as well. This is a fun and entertaining channel and you and your family are lovely people. Keep the videos coming!
Very clever tool. Thank you for sharing it.
I had never seen one like it.
Its weird that you had a video on this, my grandpa was an electrician who took care of his tools and he had a few of these some extensions, bit sets, etc from his time working as an electrician and we had just discussed all that the other day as there was so much it was impossible for us to store it all and it was decided we'd keep the barn on their property to store all the old tools we have. There are boxes and crates of the stuff and things you probably couldn't dream of here. we love old stuff so much we have actual tubes and other products that most people pitch because "nothing" uses them anymore. our house is so much fun to rummage through
Dr.End glad to hear you're keeping it all! Keep in mind that the barn may not prevent corrosion.
Love your workbench.
Prayers for Big Leo!
Oh, man. I've been wanting one of these for years. I've only ever come across a broken one which was a big disappointment. And here you get two for free! Congrats. Those are a real prize.
I really enjoy your videos and thank you for keeping it a family oriented show
One of the best ways to use the corner brace against the floor like you showed is to put your knee against the inline pad. This stabilizes the entire brace while your hand rests on the angled pad. For boring overhead your offhand goes onto the inline handle. It isn't to add pressure since the lead screw does all the work of pulling the bit through, but it does make it a lot easier to control
Thanks for showing us. Prayer for your friend.
Super cool, thanks for sharing.
I really want to add one of these to my collection.. The handle on the back of the tool is a second option pending how you have to drill/bore, or the way you could find yourself in relation to the task at-hand I believe.
Wiring old houses with laid stone foundations is much easier with an extention. Our house near Union City had 12" thick beams supporting the partition walls. The outside foundation walls were 2' thick. My Dad was an electrician and he helped me wire the house with a new service We used an extention very similar to yours to bore the hole for the service cable.
They are nice for plumbing too.
You're a great Dad. "Oh there he goes, into the water!" Most dads would've screamed.
I have one of these, I never knew what it was until a few weeks ago when I seen one online, I knew it was a drill but not that it was designed to be used flush against walls. Great ingenuity by the minds of the past
Our prayers are with you Lou!
I am a retired electrician and have used the corner brace many many times. The extensions are also used a lot - sometimes even three joined together for drilling a fire-stop on the first floor from the basement. Great tools.
KEN from KENtucky
haha
If the timing wasn't right, I would've been unhappy
hi Cody, yet another great video. Thank you the second handle is used for drilling holes in a wall near the ceiling.
Prayers up, Lou!!
Look forward to more!
I was bought up in the age of electric drills but still I can appreciate a tool like this. It's quite ingenious in its simplicity.
Cody, Blessing and Gods whishes for you and family; as always impeccable content. Prays and blessings for "Big Lou" in his time of need for him and his family. In watching this upload I wish to throw out my thoughts on the sparkies corner brace; the extra wood handle I feel is exactly what it is for, too carry the brace. Have ever seen a centrifugal bench drill press, designed to spin with the pressure of pulling the drill down the harder you press the more it would spin. Only seen one once years ago and never seen one agaun; in and old carpenters workshop.. Magic, Bless the way our forefathers were raised sadly something that is dying out... Nesecity the mother of invention.. Cheers Les🙈🙉🙊
So strange that once it's explained it seems so logical, as if you can't imagine doing the same job any other way.
Thanks for sharing; my Dad had some "antique" tools when I was a kid, not sure what
happened to them; wish I had them now.
necessity and invention. amazing when the converge so perfectly!
While working for New England Tel & Tel late 60's as an Install/repairman my tool suitcase included a ratcheting bit brace and the drill-bit extension. Know all the guys that were hired and work with me received the same tools.
I've seen many of those corner braces come through a local auction...I've never picked one up because I have never had a need for one..but they are cool...
My father is a retired electrician and he has one of these. I even remember him using it a while back (10 years or so) when drilling holes in the spuns of our boat. If you don't have easy access to electricity or battery chargers this can still be a valuable tool.
I bought one of these at an estate sale for $12. It's a Miller Falls #502 Manufactured in Greenfield Mass. I watched 3 men pick it up look at it and tried to move the crank part. It was stuck so they just put it down. One guy even got it to move and thinking he broke it put it back in the position it was in and set it down fast and walked away even faster. I took it home took the covers off the gears. Spayed some Durolube on the gears and had them free in 5 min. Re-greased them put the caps back on and has worked like a charm ever since.
the brace was used to bore holes in floor and ceiling joists, to put cable through. it's sized to fit between the joists of the time.(may not fit modern joist spacing) now we use a cordless drill with a 90 degree head to do the same job.
Very cool brace. Consider, wiring goes in at about 16" from floor, you could probably put your leg against that rear handle to apply pressure against the bit to hold it in place when drilling.
my dad. a retired electrician had something similar. We still use extension bits though
Not just the corner of a wall, but anywhere the sweep of the crank handle would interfere with a flat surface parallel to the drilling axis. Very fascinating tool!
Thank you very much. Really cool tool and informative.
Amen to your friend's health.. May he come back so sooner that anyone expected..
My guess on that funky top handle is so that if you were to drill through the floor in a corner, you could put adequate downward pressure on the drill
Truly wonderful people out there to share sure unique and special tools with you! It is understandable. You are truly one who appreciates great tools!
That is so funny.....I tell my kids its a cordless power drill. My kids and I use them often for fence building and repair. Better and faster than electric for repair.
corner brace used often in telephone work running cables and I&O wire
a very generous gift to receive .
That is so cool! Just when you thought you have seen it all...
absolutely fantastic!!!
I am officially addicted to this channel. I check ten times a day to see if a new video has been posted.
I think that the side handle you mentioned in the end could be for drilling straight up or down against a wall? Maybe it moves incase you hit a knot?
That is one really ingenious drill! It's really amazing to see how our forefathers solved problems, the solutions we're simply brilliant. Thanks for all you do, God bless and keep the great video's coming.....
That's marvellous!
What a cool tool. Thanks for sharing it with us.
I know I may be the wrong Smokey Bear but you inspired me to join the Forest Fire Fighting service in my location and I have loved every minute of it. Thank you and may God watch iver you and your family at all times.
He's like the frontier Mr. Rogers.
Well done, love the channel!
Beautiful crown gears. I was anticipating some form of worm drive until you turned it sideways. I realized that the housing wasn't nearly large enough for a worm gear, but oddly crown gears didn't come to mind until it was opened. A beautiful piece of history for sure. The predecessor to the modern 90º angle drill.
Praying for your friend.
Perhaps because of the context of the image in the video, placed along the bottom edge of the frame, I immediately knew the drill was for use along a perpendicular surface, such as near a wall or at floor level. Very cool tool!
Was also used for barn beam joinery because of extra leverage
Beautiful!!! I'm an electrician of 30 plus years, and I have never seen one....but I sure could have used one on many occasions
I believe the odd grip on the top end is for a helper to add force in tight places.
The back handle is used for vertical boring up against the wall to go through your floor and wall plates.
Awesome dude I love weird tools too, that little cover and gear set looks fun to mess with
looks like you can put the other handle is for drilling upward, so hold in right hand with the rounded pad looking one in your shoulder to give stability and support... while you do the drill motion with left hand.
You had me with a tool I hadn't seen before, The virtuosity of it all. But when you laid the tool bible out, I just started laughing, that was great, keep up the good work.
I have both of those and I also live in Kentucky!
Thanks for sharing this Cody. I have such a tool and paid next to nothing for it, but had no idea what it was for.
Fantastic, without context that tool looks incredibly goofy but it makes perfect sense once explained. Keep up the great work!
I am aware of electricians using this brace when installing electrical knob & tube wiring when an old house had it's first installation. Easy to bore wall & partition sills - studs - top plates, as well as through wall wherever needed.
Thanks for the video. I picked one up since it is an unique tool. The old guys were creative with some of these tools.
That's so cool thank's for sharing with us
There's one of those at my favorite local antique store.
Cody, the end rotating "hand" hold might just be able to move so you can roll your knee into place for better leverage (and more comfortable positioning without trying to keep everything in alignment while bracing with your knee.)
This strange brace is used for the corner of a FLOOR. When houses were being wired for electricity when houses were lit by candles and kerosene, The insulation on wires was weak so the earth was provided by a metal conduit that could be attached to walls. The 1/2 inch pipe might pass through floors and ceilings that were often made of wood too. Extensions were often required for subfloor timbers. A family member did this work and reported that wealthier owners might have the conduit run within the walls. This required some the roof cladding to be moved and hand drilling down through much of the height of the walls with a series of extensions. Other options were light switches ( that was the first function electricity was sold for) were operated by cord hanging from a switch fitted to the ceiling. Viewers of earlier generations would have seen this.
i love old tools, it's really cool to see how things were done before power tools
Hey mr W, I would probably use the rearmost handle for higher level holes I had to drill.. using the Angled brace looks like it would throw you off if you used it higher than the floor (as you showed in your usage example). To be clear, this is only my opinion, I have no prior knowledge of the tool.
