This was my "emergency wall kit". Glad I stayed (mostly) out of trouble...as you can see, "lightly" used.
As far as I know it's got a 5/16" bit. Not SDS compatible I think. Says "Rawl Grip" on the side and has drift pin. Comes with a dangerous 5/16" banana style bolt and crap Cassin hanger......you know, for frisson.
Drop me a msg if you're interested...I really don't remember too much about my hand drill days but iirc this was a 5.10 kit(?)

looks like a fish hand drill. NOT SDS compatible, and fish no longer makes bits. Good luck...

Might very well be fish. No need for this stuff when I can 24V...

Mmmmm, looks better than what I used for all those years. But now days I don't use any bolt kit that doesn't say Bosch or Hilti on it.

Definitely LOOKS like a Rawl.
They had numbered bits rather than inch/metric grades.
I seem to recall placing quater inch Rawl compression bolts with a #12 and Star Dryvins with a #14.
I still have a couple of Leeper Super drills (3/8") to fit that handle if interested.

I had an old handle that looked like that. The bits had a tapered shank, which is what that drift pin is all about. I don't know what the exact taper is (JT, MT, WTFT). You can get HSS and cobalt bits with tapered shanks from McMaster-Carr; maybe carbide rock bits, too. Gabe says you sharpen a cobalt twist drill to a chisel point, and it drills faster than a carbide rock bit.

That is correctly identified as a Rawl drill holder and Rawl rubber grip. Back in the day (1970s), the choices were AFAIK, the Rawl or Star Tools drill holders. The Star holder was one piece with a molded grip.
Both brands used a tapered shank bit. I preferred the less brittle Rawl bits; having broken several Star bits. A trad bolter's nightmare: run-out on steep slab, poor stance, 10 minutes of monumental effort, bit breaks off in the hole, calves burning, trying to change the bit, drift pin won't budge it loose, cursing the %$#&*^%#, still stuck, sweat dripping into the eyes, do i jump?...

I got some a that shyte.
A better set up looked similar,
But had a set screw and you could utilize 5/16' cobalt bits,
purchased at a hardware store and yes, ground to a chisel you cud really punch 'em in.

This one's not for sale:
You can make your own by aquiring the chuck for a Milwaukee air hammer drill from a tool store, then grind off the shaft part which is gone in this pic. Use "A" taper bits, cut down to a chisel tip. A very good tool, just swing straight, there's no hand guard...
