brace and ˈbit N

English

The term often refers to a human-powered crank which is used to manually turn an axle, as in a bicycle crankset or a brace and bit drill. en.wikipedia.org

Traditionally these were first cut by drilling with a brace and bit to mark out each end, then the twybil used to break out the wood between them. en.wikipedia.org

Placing the gear release fully counter-clockwise then allows turning the brace and bit in a counter-clockwise direction, usually to remove the drill bit from the hole. en.wikipedia.org
