Not only is this brace extremely functional, thanks to the materials it is made of, it has a special look that is modelled on the originals manufactured around 1900. The solid steel parts have a black gunmetal finish and thus strongly contrast in colour with the brass sleeves, the brass ball bearing housing on the head and the fine reddish brown hardwood handles made of Kotibé. The chuck is equipped with a ratchet that can be switched between clockwise and counter-clockwise rotation, making it possible to drill or turn screws even in confined spaces.
