@@Makitafan you’re up man 🙂
Give it 8 hours (from now). If no question posed by then, anyone can jump in with one.
OK! next one:
What company has a history dating back to 1871?
Hint: the company Celebrates 100 Years of Trading on the New York Stock Exchange in 2006.
Just as an all out guess at this point: Black and Decker?

Cheers.
If anyone else has a question, just jump in.
C’mon Tug, one for the English! What’s your question?
I’m struggling here, but what make of drill was used in a lame attempt to drill through the bodywork of KITT in the original series of Kightrider? (Yup, a quick trip back to my childhood.)
haha, take that one tool lovers! I have not the faintest idea. Heard of Knightrider, no idea what KITT is 😉

KITT was the car, I remember it well.
Man, I watched Knight Rider religiously, but I was too young to remember finer details like that.
I can can say for sure it wasn’t Dewalt or Ridgid. I’m gonna take a shot in the dark and say B&D.
I’d say B&D as well but since it was already guessed I’ll go with Skil.
I’m trying to remember any drill brands that were around at that time. I remember B&D, Skil, Craftsman, Milwaukee, and some generic store brands, but that’s about it. Dewalt and Ridgid as we know them today didn’t exist in the 80’s, I don’t think Metabo had made it to The States yet, and I don’t remember any Makita drills around until the stick batteries came around in the 90’s. I remember a few Bosch tools, but they were few and far between. Porter Cable was popular at various times, but I don’t remember seeing a whole lot of their drills.
I’m 99% certain it was a Makita, but I’m failing to find a pic. I’ll have to trawl through the DVDs to find it, then grab a screenshot.
Whoever was first to name Makita can pose the next question.
The powered router was the result of a failed design for powering the headlight on a steam locomotive in 1915.
Which company invented the plunge router and in what year?

You know I was thinking Makita but went with Skil because it seemed like it would have been cheaper.

Maybe Makita did plunge router as well?

Good guess, but not Makita. It’s an off the wall kinda answer.
Black and Decker ?
I’d be thoroughly impressed if anyone got it without cheating…I cheated earlier because I was curious about the history.
In truth, I knew who invented it, but I had to look up the year.
It is a toughy, so here’s a hint. This company was later bought by a much more famous company that everyone here is super familiar with.
Elu and is now part of the big yellow
Elu like comp said fits the hint 🙂
Comp nailed it. It was indeed Eli.
Your turn Comp!
Who was the first main people to come up with cordless tool and when? A well known company was involved but who brought the design to the table?
Black and Decker made the first cordless drill ? Early 60ies

I’m guessing Milwaukee came out with the first cordless tool with that huge battery box which is connected to the tool with a cord. not sure who brought the idea to the table.

Ah no idea 🙂 the wife of either the black or the decker guy ? 😛
Well if it was black and decker it probably was nasa but I thought the milwaukee tools with that giant box deal connected to them came earlier.
I’m with Jronman. Pretty certain B&D developed the cordless drill for the space program in the Apollo era
Martin Marietta Corporation brought it to B&D
New question !

What does Festool call the function on their DWC drywall screw gun which allows you to “manually” drive a screw in?
No freaking idea 😀
Manual? Lol knowing festool they make it sound too cool for school so maybe torque overide?
