Hand drill

I wanted to drill holes into my new planter trough. My hand drill has jammed since I last used it. I took it into work and the Head of Facilities and the handyman/cleaner both had a go but were unable to unstick it.  In B&Q today I was looking for a replacement, but couldn't find one. One of the assistants said. "I haven't seen one of those for years". 

It seems such a waste to use an electric drill for such a small job.  And when you want a hole in wood of only a certain depth, a hand drill, though slower, is easier to control.

I've googled hand drill and it seems they are still being made.  Hope to find a shop where I can buy one rather than having to use the internet
