I’ve noticed a lot of posts lately that have had some sweet old tools. I love old tools. Post up some pictures of some vintage tools for us all to revel in their glory. Here’s my addition. This was in my buddy’s garage, he got inherited it from his grandfather and it still runs like a champ. I can’t remember the brand. [External image (uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com), not copied]

Yeah those were the inspiration for this thread.

Sorry allow me to rephrase “post your cool looking old sh**”
I’ll have to take some pics, not really old stuff but I inherited all my Dad’s old tools. I have some of the stuff from Montgomery Ward and JC Penny and it’s working. When the stuff died he normally just bought something new and then trashing that when they broke. Funny how many Dewalt and B&D drills he asked me to throw away while his old corded drills work just like new. In fact, I just used his jigsaw in January before I bought my Milwaukee m18 jigsaw! It worked like a champ!
here are a couple old school Klein
Can you say old school Makita….
just an old heavy beast of a drill…..
who said they didn’t make tiny circular saw’s how bout a 5 1/2″ER
just about anything can be done with a 5/8HP router….lol
This Craftsman still works I inherited from my grandpa 16 years ago.

Here we have an old Craftsman circular saw, a Montgomery Ward Orbital sander, the B&D Lectro-Saw with the fancy ground wire coming out of the plug, a Weller Sabre Saw, a Crusader Sabre saw, an Ingersoll Rand miter saw, an Igloo galvanized water cooler and of course the most important, a JVC cassette player circa 1980’s elementary school style with none other than MC Hammer telling you that you can’t touch this…

Loving all the pictures! One thing I have noticed is, they are all heavy duty looking, and stamped Made in the U.S.A. I can’t image what it would have been like to use some of those handheld tools all day long
funny how Black and Decker with Craftsman were so dominating at one time…..now not so much….
Oops forgot the picture
.
Its actually a GE motor on westinghouse pump

Thats right Wigwag, tools used to be made in the USA, back when the country truly meant something to its people. Now everything is sold to China, and so thats why we get China made tools.
It’s not just the fact that they are made over seas, but dam, those old drills are built like a tank, HEAVY MEATL \w/ lol

Also was one of these that had a head for driving square head lags that old school buildings were oh so fond of using. I’ll clean it up and get back to you.
