Schröder Hand Drills $26–$48 garrettwade.com

» When I was a boy, my grandfather was the handyman in the family. I followed him around with fierce devotion and helped him build, fix, and finish things. We were in no hurry, and we liked it. That was a very long time ago. But when I first picked up the Schröder, it felt like shaking hands with a long-lost old friend. If I’d been blindfolded, I might have sworn it was Grandpa’s well-maintained vintage tool. The solid construction and tight engineering hark back to the days when tools weren’t considered disposable.
