Stanley 5803 Drill Review By: I.Ball
Category: Old Drills
Manufacturer: Stanley
Tool Type: Hand Drill
Model No: 5803
The Stanley 5803 hand drill review details the black and yellow coloured
drill produced by the mighty Stanley Tools.
The 5803 has a double pinion gear mechanism which is encased within
an alloy body.
The alloy body has been finished in a matt black finish with the exception
of the rotating encasement lid which is finished in yellow finish.
The purpose of this enclosed case is to help keep the gears clean and
clear of dust and dirt as well as helping protect the gears from rust.
The drill is fitted with black cellulose acetate handles.
The Stanley 5803 yellow and black drill has a three-jaw chuck which self-centres
on the drill bit as it is locked.
The Stanley drill no. 5803 was presented in an orange Stanley cardboard box with
a green label on the end detailing the core credentials of the drill.

Ljotulfson - It's a good practical hand drill:
GET THE BEST FROM YOUR HAND DRILL:
MAINTENANCE
The gears of this drill are enclosed, so as to require the minimum of maintenance.
Oil-holes tend to quickly become clocked by dust and dirt, and for this reason
none have been provided. The drill should be lubricated as follows:
A few drops of medium oil should occasionally be run between the gear-screw head
and the gear (A), and also between the ball-cup and the thrust-pad (B). The teeth
of both gear and pinion should be lubricated with heavy oil or grease. When this
is necessary, the central gear screw (A) should be unscrewed and the gear wheel
removed. After this has been replaced, the gear screw should be fully tightened
to ensure correct meshing of the teeth under load.

"Just stumbled across your website and an absolute treasure trove of information.
I was recently given an old Stanley 110 block plane and wanted to know more about it.
Your website told me everything I needed to know.
But there is so much more to read. I forsee me spending a lot of time just reading
page after page. I can appreciate how much time this will have taken to put together.
I just wanted to let you know that your hard work is appreciated."
