ITEM DESCRIPTION
Vintage tool - brace #36:
Up for sale is a gorgeous J.A.CHAPMAN of Sheffield rare sized 7" Hand BRACE, Mahogany handles, ball bearing pad handle, heavy duty chuck, a high quality brace.
J A Chapman was a tool manufacturer in Sheffield and was taken over by The Stanley Tool co in about 1937. This takeover was Stanleys (USA) way to enter the British manufacturing market.
This is a quality brace, heavy duty chuck & frame, strong ratchet mechanism that is silky smooth, ball bearing rear pad handle, & mahogany handles that have the most lovely warm patina.
An extremely handy tool, great for boring large diameter holes & excellent for driving screws in with a slotted tip bit, the leverage you can get with a brace is amazing.
Great for boring large diameter holes, never has a flat battery or need to run a lead out, very handy indeed.
Weight - 1.1kg
