Auxiliary drill handle

Portable electric drill

An auxiliary handle for a drill includes a unitary member with an elongated handle portion and a collar portion. The collar portion has a circular opening sized to accomodate therein a cylindrical shoulder at the forward end of the drill. The unitary member is formed with an open slot extending from the circular opening of the collar portion into the handle portion, the open slot providing a separation in the collar portion. A clamping arrangement extends across the slot for selectively narrowing the slot to reduce the circumference of the circular opening so as to clamp the handle on the drill shoulder accommodated therein.

A handheld portable electric drill having an improved self-aligning bearing block which has a semicircular configuration and is contained within a cavity in one half of a two part clamshell type housing for the drill. The bearing block has a cut out surface which conforms to the output spindle bushing, and a bearing hole for the intermediate gear shaft. For assembly, the bearing block is pressed into the cavity and when the other half of the housing is attached, rib surfaces thereon rotate the bearing block into appropriate positional alignment.
