Drilling holes

[codswallop]

Do any of you DIY's of a certain age remember when an electric drill was a luxury and tungsten tipped drills were very expensive there used to be a "Rawltool" that was used to make holes in all types of walls.You held it by hand and struck it with a club hammer gave it a twist and hit it again and again till you made a hole of suitable depth.Getting to the point of my post all the walls in my old house are very difficult to drill,the hole just "spreads" and I was hoping to purchase the old type tool which is much easier to control....but where can I get one if at all?????Thanks for your patience!!!
