Brace- How to Repair and Maintain Your Brace (Step-by-Step) – EQUIP Video Series

A brace is a traditional hand drilling tool used for boring larger and deeper holes in wood with control and precision. Over time, the chuck may loosen, the ratchet mechanism can stiffen, and rust or dirt may affect smooth rotation. Without proper maintenance, drilling becomes difficult and less accurate. In this step-by-step EQUIP video, you will learn how to repair, maintain, and restore your brace so it operates smoothly and reliably again. In this video you will learn how to: • Inspect the chuck, ratchet, and frame for wear or damage • Clean and remove rust from metal components • Disassemble and clean the ratchet mechanism • Lubricate moving parts for smooth operation • Check and secure the chuck for proper bit holding • Reassemble the brace correctly • Test the brace for steady and controlled drilling A well-maintained brace provides better control, smoother drilling, and longer tool life. However, regular cleaning and lubrication of the ratchet and chuck are often overlooked. This video shows you exactly how to bring your brace back to dependable working condition. ⸻ About Gered Gereedschap & EQUIP Gered Gereedschap is a Dutch NGO that has supported technical vocational training and craftsmanship in Africa for over 40 years.
