Hand drill lifting and actuating apparatus

A drill mount and actuation assembly comprising:

• a post having a bottom end and a top end, said post being telescopic and including an upper section and a lower section, said lower section slidably receiving said upper section, said upper section including a first portion and a second portion being telescopically engaged such that said second portion is slidably received by said first portion, said first portion being adjacent to said lower section, a securing member releasably securing said first portion with respect to said second portion;
• a base being attached to said bottom end;
• a mount being attached to said top end, said mount being configured to releasably secure a drill to said post, said mount being pivotable with respect to said post, a locking member engaging said mount and releasably locking said mount with respect to said post;
• an actuator being mounted on said post and being configured to engage a switch on the drill to turn the drill on, said actuator including a grip pivotally movable relative to said post, a cable being coupled to said grip, said cable having a free end configured to engage the drill, said free end being pulled towards said grip when said grip is actuated;
• a fulcrum being attached to said lower section of said post;
• a handle having a first end and a second end, said first end being pivotally coupled to said upper section, said handle being pivotally coupled to said fulcrum between said first and second ends, said upper section being lifted upwardly when said second end is urged downwardly, wherein said mount is urged upwardly when said second end is pulled downwardly;
• and
• a braking member being mounted on said lower section and mechanically engaging said upper section, said braking member being adjustable to selectively alter resistance of movement between said upper and lower sections.
