Hand Auger? A site for hand tools?

[terrianne]

We make our own Maple syrup from 4 large sugar Maples on our property. We get a few gallons for our family. What I am looking for is a hand auger to drill the holes with. I went all over locally to find one. I have a friend who uses one but it was handed down in the family.

Does anyone know of a site for old fashioned hand tools which are still made. I would like to use tools that don't require batteries or electricity.

Thank you.

In visiting old antique stores and flea markets, I have seen hand augers (we used to call them brace and bits) for sale. Good luck finding one.

www.lehmans.com sells carpenter braces and auger bits.
