Daddy had an old Ingersol-Rand hand drill..It was 120 volts and made out of metal..When you hit the trigger sparks would fly out the side(brushes inside were out of alignment).It was my job to keep the shop floor clean of grease and I used kerosene as a solvent to do it …It’s a wonder I never burned his gas station down..
