Like so many tools of the era, motorized tools made them pretty much obsolete. I have a Brace, hanging on the wall in my garage next to my timing light and dwell meter and oil can spout.
In 1982 or so, at my first house I was up in the attic and needed to drill a hole in the far part of the attic so I could have more than one telephone in the center of the house. I did not have a long enough extension cord to use my hand drill, so off into the corner I went with grandpa's old brace, and a wood bit. It worked great, the hole was drilled and I then had a phone in the bedroom and no longer had to run the center of the house to use the phone. What total decadence!
