A hand held drill leverage unit for supporting, positioning, and
leveraging a drill. The leverage unit has a main lever arm pivotally
supported by a fulcrum unit. A drill end of the lever arm supports the
drill, while an opposing, longer, handle end of the lever allows
manipulation of the lever arm to control the position of, and to
leverage, the drill. A user typically grasps the drill handle in one
hand, the handle end of the lever arm in the other. Pulling the handle
end away from the workpiece forces a leg or foot member of the fulcrum
unit against a rear side of the workpiece or of another support member,
making the fulcrum unit substantially stationary relative to the
workpiece, so that further pulling of the handle end forces the drill end
toward the work piece. As the preferred leverage unit need not be
fastened or fixed to the workpiece or other support member, the user may
quickly and easily move the drill and leverage unit to multiple drilling
locations. To remove the drill and leverage unit from each drilling
location, the user simply may stop the pulling of the handle end,
optionally swing the foot/leg out away from the workpiece, and move the
drill and leverage unit away from the workpiece.
