North Brothers “Yankee” No.1445
This No.1445 has a very easy method for changing gear, a 3 position selector switch which can be moved easily with a swipe of the thumb or finger; making a very satisfy “click” sound in the process.
The mechanism is solid with very smooth operation. 3 Jaw Chuck. It is definitely a high-quality functional working tool.
