What is the function of a tool brace?

A tool brace is a hand tool used primarily for drilling holes in wood or other materials. It consists of a curved handle and a chuck that holds a drill bit, allowing the user to apply torque while rotating the bit. The design enables greater leverage and control compared to using a simple hand drill, making it easier to create precise holes. Tool braces are often used in woodworking and cabinetry for tasks requiring accuracy and stability.
