Antique Crusader 10-inch swing bit brace drill, a traditional hand-powered woodworking tool designed for boring holes using auger bits and other brace bits.

Bit braces were essential tools in carpentry, cabinetmaking, furniture making, timber framing, and general woodworking before the widespread use of electric drills. The Crusader name adds interest for collectors of vintage and antique woodworking tools.

Overall in great shape with some patina in spots. Chuck could use some oil but works well.
