Hello all, I am looking for a hand tool that is no longer available from Rawl. It was a hand drill for masonry, that you hit with a hammer, turn, and hit again, It had replaceable tips and made a hole for a 3/16 plastic or fiber plug. It was a rawl no.14 tool.
any ideas where to find or if something similar is made today? Thanks, Dave-
What you describe sounds like a "Star Drill." This is like a chisel which has a crossed point, and is driven with a (Hand Drilling) hammer. Most do not have replaceable tips, but they can be resharpened with a file. Many hardware stores still stock these, even though most masonry drilling is now done using power tools - drills, hammer-drills, or rotary-hammers. Brands would probably include Enderes, Dasco, Baltimore, Mayhew, and many more...
