Picked this up at a local swap meet for $10. It is obviously a drill. Can anyone help me out as to the manufacturer, the approx age and it's primary use. Thanks in advance.

The chain tells me it is used where it could be lost. Maybe boring in ice. Yankees like to do that. LOL !
I guessing the chain went around something and hooked on the otherside and as you tork it,..it would put downward presure on what ever the hell they were drilling ....watch out for them southern boys ...lol
I didn't notice the lettering on the Chuck. It says Grabler & Co. Cleveland .O. USA . PAT . FEBY . 18 . 1899
They are still in business google the name
Windwalker has it right. Usually used for pipe but other applications are possible.
These are probably two separate tools, the ratcheting handle and the chain drill, which is used for overhead drilling with auto feeding so you don't have to use pressure
