This is a hand drill that my father owns.
It was/is a Powr-Kraft item.
I have no idea if this is for wood working, but a google search on
"Powr-Kraft" seems to point this direction.
He got it from Montgomery Wards many moons ago, and is looking to buy
another one.
The red cap screws off to give access to about 8 drill bits.
Works great in confned spaces. Anyone know what this is called so that I
can do a better online search?

They're still pretty common. I got a couple junk ones at a $
store the other day. If you go to any antiques store you'll find
a pile of North Bros Yankee drills, probably 130A models. They're
about as common as Stanley #4s.

Yankee Screw Driver. In addition to the drill bits some sets also contain
screw driver bits.

This is a "push" drill, sometimes called a Yankee drill. Google either one.
I still have my dad's push drill, and use it frequently.

Wheeeoooo...
The real name is Archimedean drill. But most people would probably call it
a "push drill". (BTW, the Yankee Screwdriver is a brand name of a variation
on the drill) Their most common usage was drilling pilot holes, especially
for cabinet hardware. Every one I've ever seen takes a special kind of bit
(whose name escapes me, but regular old twist bits will not work without
modification.) They usually came with an assortment of bits in the handle.
I think Stanley still makes one,

Thanks!
That will help out a bunch.
