Another neat drill idea. Modify a multiplyer egg beater. We have one over fifty years old with nylon gears and about a ten to one ratio. Looks just like a hand-held drill I have, same vintage, same ratio. Both came from Sears. Hmmm!

This must be why so many reels have holes drilled in their feet.

Steve, that's a clever twist on things. Conversely, and oddly enough, you can also go from a reel drill to a drill reel, for speedy line spooling.

Even though he finally gives the variable-speed drill some redeeming social value, Capt. Clyde seems to have been booted out of a lot of fishing grounds.
