I always find tools that I remember my father using when I was a kid. Klein pliers, the sawzall with the metal case. What tools have really lasted for you?
actually I have a few older tools that were my fathers that some date back to the 50’s most of them are hand tools but a couple power tools as well I just don’t use them because they have obviously been replaced with safer and more efficient models….
The old Makita drills with that long stick battery in the handle.
I do believe they have a new set batteries tho ^^
I work with my Dad as much as I can, you will always see him using his Yankee Screwdriver, hand/Block plane, etc, etc I had to turn him on to pneumatic nail guns about 15 years ago, he was still installing moulding by hand, setting his nails with his nail set. He still has a ton of old tools, power and hand.. Some of them you just can’t beat the quality.
ya the good old miter boxes……I remember my father swore by these things or I remember he’d say just saw it…I’d say with what and he would grab the ol hand saw…….I’d laugh and say are you crazy……..lol
