cool video watched all could be updated by now however…..
I think a harbor freight drill master drill cordless drill is better that some of the stuff they showed.
I think I found the episode it was filmed in 1999 http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0870503/
Wow Whata video it’s sad that craftsman went overseas and to the craps like it did and black and decker wow very surprised with how involved they were with our history. Man this video even had bob villa and Tim the toolman Taylor! Thanks for posting!

I agree. I respect anyone that works hard and get’s shit done without bitching, lol. I’m mostly behind a computer nowaday’s but I have a great appreciation and respect for anyone that works hard to support their family. Ton’s of respect for you as a Framer as well, I grew up around jobsites with my Dad and always appreciated his hardwork.

That was a great video about power tool history. I had no idea how involved black and decker was in the early days of the industry. Seeing all those old tools really makes me appreciate what tool companies are putting out today.
Ya and it makes me want thos old tools!!! Wouldnt mind starting to collect classic toolsNaluRash wrote:

LOL Toronto so true I have a bro inlaw in san diego who comes down to help me out with projects here n there and the dude is buff works out a lot and is always trying to get me to the gym with him and drink all kinds of muscle drinks and I asked him to come shovel out some dirt and he was dying!! im about 240 pnds not in the best of shape but was never scared to pick up a shovel or a pick ,my gramps busted my ballz when I was younger so seeing my bro inlaw always has me laughg when I see him sweating his ass off drinking 5hr energy and monsters to keep up. my gramps always told me there different kinda muscles ” the muscles u build at the gym and the ones u build doing manuel labor and I believe that I might not be able to do a bunch of reps lfting weights but I can hang doing hard labor any day.

Hey now, can’t be on the job site all the time Toronto, I’ve been known to play some video games in my downtime and don’t feel lazy when I’m busting hump on the job site haha! Thanks for posting the video, love seeing how things were done in the past. Something about knowing where you came from that makes you feel confident in where you’re going.torontotoolman wrote:

Oh I agree TO. The saddest part is its hard to appreciate the little moments and downtime when there’s no up time. The balance of knowing you’ve accomplished something meaningful in a day, and being able to appreciate winding down w loved ones at the end of a long day is something I wouldn’t trade, and you don’t get to experience it if you don’t get off the couch in the first place.
