I have an old Craftsman hand drill that belonged to my wife's grandfather. It has a wood screw-off cap that threads onto the hollow wood handle, and inside the handle are a full set of non-twist drill bits. I also have a set of calipers that belonged to him as well.

I don't use the old bits, but I use the calipers frequently, and the drill all the time (to drill pilot holes in tight spots where an electric drill won't fit).

I think about him every time I use them, and wish I had been able to know him. I hope to pass my tools on to someone who appreciates them...

You've probably all seen ones like them before, but I'll try to post a picture later.
