Small Hand Drill Recommendations

[Mikegtr]

I am looking for a small (handle) type hand drill. I have a Stanley normal size--13" in length--hand drill that I have had for many years, good quality. Some jobs the hand drill is to long to fit.
Can you recommend a good quality, sturdy, smaller in length hand drill--something the pro woodworkers would use.

Many thanks.

Or if you have the cash find a Stanley 610 pistol grip hand drill like this:

Id recommend a festool one

Just kidding....(or am I?)

No, seriously - I have 12v Bosch ones and am very happy with them

What about the old Leytool hand drill with the shovel handle, they are very short. Usually a few on the bay.

are you meaning a bit and brace drill or a whisk style drill as above?

Much as I hate to say this it's time for a power drill and a right angle drill attachment. You would likely need a third hand to use the attachment on the egg beater drill.
