Anyone know the model number of the drill in this pic: https://trademe.tmcdn.co.nz/photoserver/full/1554777674.jpg It looks like a Makita. The closest I could find was 6300NB but there are some big differences, note there is no attachment for a side support and no speed dial/hammer switch. There is a strange knob in the front section though, not sure about its function. Also the white/green colour scheme must be rare, I could not find a similar pic on google.

Bosch and Wolf have produced power tools in a similar colour as well at some stage.May be worth a search. Certainly can't remember any with a white front sorry) (Colour I was meaning was the blue/green one)

Older Ryobi were also that colour. I remember a belt sander of that colour around here a few years back.

Maybe it's to lock the chuck so it can be tightened properly. Push it in while turning the chuck by hand and it might locate in a slot or a hole which will lock it from turning. That's my guess.

Muppet-slayer - Thanks, I think that's right. Pulling out the knob locks the chuck in one direction. Such an unusual knob. It seems like a side support must have looped over the chuck as there is no thread for one and the drill is too heavy to use without a support.

Looks like one my father had a long time ago. The button you will find is low and high gear. Push in or pull out. Looks a lot like an old Makita with the painted front. The extra handle from memory is as clamped around the front just below the chuck.

macman26 is correct, don't use it without the extra handle, wrist breaker.

Wolf wre american ( i think from memory) and mostly grey. Mikiita and Bosh were green. My pick mikita 3/;8.
My father has a massive Wolf circular saw, and I have an enormous Wolf angle grinder. You have to be pretty strong just to lift the thing. Not like those USA toy grinders.

you dont really see the big nine inch grinders much now as like "Popeye" you need to at a lot of spinach to lift em. Most handymen and workshops use the 125mm or 5 inch, more versatile easier to use, with grinding,cutting and flap discs.
I can’t remember if these had a hammer function or not. I remember one drill had a little butterfly you would turn on the gearbox. Perhaps was one like this🤔

I just checked, and my one is only a 7". but it isn't a boy's or a girl's grinder, really much more of a man's or woman's grinder. It is pretty heavy, pretty powerful and has quite a strong gyroscopic effect when cranked up.
