Rare and fully functioning Stanley No. 624 breast drill from early American tool history. Clean, complete, and ready to display or put to work. 

This antique Stanley No. 624 breast drill is a fine example of early 20th century toolmaking built for heavy-duty, pre-electric work. Featuring a cast iron frame, steel gearing, and a contoured front plate for bracing against the chest, this tool was used by professional tradesmen to drill into wood or metal with precision and force.

Unlike the common eggbeater hand drills still seen on eBay, the No. 624 is larger, sturdier, and far less common. This one is complete and fully functional, with all gears turning freely and the chuck operating smoothly. The side-mounted hardwood handle spins freely and retains its original form.

As of this listing, no other complete examples of the No. 624 are available or sold on eBay — making this a true collector-grade piece for vintage tool enthusiasts, restoration specialists, or anyone building a traditional workshop.

Very good vintage condition with age-appropriate wear. Fully functional with a strong chuck, smooth gear action, and a secure wooden side handle. No broken parts. Ideal for use or display.

Ships carefully packed in a box for safe delivery.
