Is there a way to make a drill that has a better mechanical advantage? Less hand cranks for more bit twist? Maybe with the use of gears like these old hand drills? Screenshot_20190119-110330_Gallery.jpgScreenshot_20190119-110353_Gallery.jpg

What you are talking about is actually a mechanical disadvantage. If you try to get too much bite, or gear for faster speed, it will become VERY difficult to turn.

I was wondering that too. I used one of those old hand drills before and remember it not being easy.
