272557 Kirk Eppler 2021‑01‑12 Re: Is there a Lie-Nielson for the M-F № 2?
Are you talking the #2 hand drill, big long thing with the chefs hat on the
end?


I have only seen LV offer a tiny little hand drill as a reproduction, which
looks quite nice.

The Millers Falls I saw last was in Orchard Supply, and I think Mr Foley
gives it way too much credit.  Pure Crap was what I saw.  Poorly made,
poorly fitted assembly...

Welcome to the list!
