Doug - I got a replacement set from Sears, but I guess it was a while
ago. Their version of the Yankee push drill is Craftsman 94221, but I
don't see it online at Sears dot com.
A search revealed
http://www.worthpoint.com/worthopedia/vintage-craftsman-yankee-spiral-push-drill-7
which considers it "vintage". I didn't think I was old enough to have
purchased vintage tools new in the store. A good Sears employee may be
able to find a part number if it hasn't been too long that it is purged
from the computers. The other option might be an old Craftsman tool
catalog if anyone has one around.

I too find the drill handy for occasional use, but expect the cordless
drill killed the market.
