Black & Decker Consumer and Commercial Power Tools

[BDFan1981]

I wonder if any of you have any of the following Black & Decker power tools (from the '60s-'80s) that came in more than one flavor by model #, even for the same design of tool. Please show me what you have in pictures.

They may look the same (and sometimes have the same specifications) but would have differing model #s depending on the sales base (be it consumer, professional/serious DIY, industrial/commercial, or automotive).

From 1977-82, B&D branded its series of "serious DIY'er" tools as "Trade Tools" (predating the Quantum line of tools by 15 years).

This line of tools, of course, shared the same specifications as their industrial/commercial line of tools (prior to 1977, the serious-DIY'er tools merely read "COMMERCIAL DUTY" on their labels). It was also in 1977 that B&D would launch its "BEST" line of consumer-grade tools (the ones in the "Antique Gold" color). The Trade line of tools were all given the color of Industrial Grey, even on those tools whose I/C equivalents had polished chrome or brushed chrome motor shell housings (I reiterate: the Trade tools all have their motor shell housings painted Industrial Grey).

For example: the model 7264 1/2" reversing spade-handle drill (with variable speed control from type 2) was also sold in the industry/construction trade as model 1305-10, and in the automotive trade as model 6051. The Trade model 7274 1/2" reversing drill was also sold to the I/C trades as model 1315-10.

A partial list of consumer-grade tools with I/C and automotive equivalents:
7010 1/4" Drill is also available as model 1010 for occasional I/C work
7020 1/4" VS Drill is also available as model 1015 for occasional I/C work
7110 3/8" Drill is also available as model 1155 for occasional I/C work
7120 3/8" VS Drill is also available as model 1161 for occasional I/C work
7190 3/8" VSR Drill is also available as model 6018 for auto trade
7205 1/2" Drill is also available as model 1300 for occasional I/C work
7250 (formerly U127) 1/2" Reversing Spade-Handle Drill is also available as model 1305 for occasional I/C work (there would be no post-1976 equivalent of the 1305 to the 7224, but instead the 1305-10 would cross over to the 7264)
7254 1/2" VSR Drill is also available as model 6046 for auto trade
7260 (formerly U226-1) 1/2" Reversing Spade-Handle Drill is also available as model 1315 for I/C work
7310 (formerly U131) 7-1/4" Circular Saw is also available as model 3004 for occasional I/C work
7320 (formerly U231) 7-1/4" Circular Saw is also available as model 3007 Sawcat for occasional I/C work

Yes, as I said before, B&D had had a way with selling its tools to its many sales bases. Some of them looked the same.

In the end, I hope to compile a chart of the many B&D tools of the '60s-'90s that shared the same design and specifications, and to list the pre-1970 model numbers on those tools whose designs carried over into 1970 and later model years. I am a historian-to-be on power tools. I get all of this information from the many B&D catalogs that I have and from the internet.

I used to have a B&D jigsaw from the 70s or 80s and it was a POS.

I presume yours was probably the puke-green colored 7504 single-speed (what my dad has had since the mid '80s; his was leftover stock at True Value), 7514 2-speed or 7524 variable speed jig saw.

Yes, I looked up 7504 and it looked very similar. I upgraded to Bosch 1590EVSK a few years back and have been much happier.

 

[OUTRIGGER]

I worked at B&D Spennymoor Co. Durham (DIY tool factory , opened 1964) during the 1970's.. The Harmondsworth (London) original factory from the 1930's closed , I had a bit to do with machinery moving north & re-installation.
From the closure of Harmondsworth - many tools were manufactured in Germany and in particular the Italian factory. I think I have a "Trade" grey body palm sander & a better industrial blue coloured glass-filled polyester body - that was made in Italy.
Will try and hunt them out.

Will post a bit of B&D historical drill photographs from that period.

Things go full circle , I would never have believed that when I worked for B&D , that it would be merged with Stanley !

-----

This 1/2" Stanley was the flagship drill , I purchased it in 1971 and still look after it well (in regular light use).
The Stanley factory was 30 miles north of me at Cramlington,Northumberland.
They went under the name Stanly-Bridges. I suppose I was a Bridges man as the first drill my father used was called the "Neonic" - it had a red neon to warn of overloading on top of the gearbox, this gearbox uses the same die-casting with the aperture blanked off with a plate secured blind rivets.

A good non-hammer version drill - I still use it.

This 1/2" white / gold drill was the B&D opposition DIY flagship - the "MasterCraft"

This grey/orange 3/8" B&D drill was a very good seller at reduced cost

---------

This is a Harmondsworth made "Industrial" (the gearbox will be Spennymoor) , this was BS "Kite-Marked" permitting Factories Act & Construction Regulations use. Earthed die-cast "Clamshell body".

The DIY range were in fact technically superior , they were "all insulated" (see the sqare within a square logo) , the armature shaft had a phenolic resin compound applied under heat & pressure , then the windings were applied.
The "Industrial" drill would have a steel armature with a cardboard type insulating sleeve applied and then windings applied (the armature & field would also have been Spennymoor made).

This is the real reason the "Trade" range came about, the original industrial power tools were alloy die-cast & eartherd - obsolete. The DIY range could easily have passed the BS testing requirements for KiteMark but B&D did not submit them. They did not wish to have high end sales lost by users legally using the DIY range.

Then as I said - Non-DIY power tools in the main went to german & Italian factories , Harmondsworth closed , I went to better £ paying pastures in 1978. Abt. 1980 - B&D snapped up ELU and the rest is history , or should I say Stanley are about to make B&D history ..

wow nice pics of historic tools + good infos !! Often you can find old B+D tools with orange, black or blue housing on the flea markets, made in England, Germany, Italy and even France !

 

[honcho]

I don't have easy access to them right now, but I have a B&D "professional" reciprocating saw (sawzall type) that appears to be largely identical to the DeWalt recip saw and works very well. I also have an 18V B&D "industrial" cordless circular saw which again appears to be the same as a DeWalt. The saw uses the not too common 5 3/8 blade size.

I never purchased any Quantum tools, but I remember looking at them closely and being impressed that some of them were sourced from European factories. If I remember correctly the Quantum line had a plunge router sourced from Switzerland.

How correct , I had forgotten the B&D frogs

 

[Monte]

bought this on the flea market:

 

[Gary S]

I don't have any of them left today. Back in the early 70s I bought a B&D jigsaw and a circular saw. Around 1980, I added a 3/8" variable speed drill. It took 30 years of abuse, but I finally wore all 3 of them out and replaced them with today's cheap power tools. I hope the Chinese tools of today can give another 30 years of use and abuse until I have to replace them again.

 

[BDFan1981]

For those of you here who want to know what B&D '60s-'90s tools I have at present, here is the list:
*7190 3/8" VSR Drill (type 1, black housing; a Christmas present I bought in December 1994 at PayLess Drug)
*Another 7190 3/8" VSR Drill, Value-Plus label (type 1, orange housing; inherited from my paternal grandpa)
*7390 Value-Plus 1-1/2 HP 7-1/4" Circular Saw (type 3, orange housing; inherited from my paternal grandpa)
*7456 Best 1/2-Sheet Dual-Action Finishing Sander Assortment (type 1, antique gold housing) (I bought this on eBay in 2003; this was NOS meaning it was never used)
*7504 1/5-HP Jig Saw (yes, this is the puke green color)
*9045 (CD1000) Basic 4.8V 2-Speed 3/8" Cordless Drill/Screwdriver (this was a Christmas present from my paternal grandparents)
*Sears Craftsman Professional 1/2" VSR Drill (bought this in 2000; this is similar to a DeWalt drill of the period)

I know the US-market 2-speed hammer drills, the 7926 Value-Plus 3/8", the 7932 Best 3/8" (antique gold) and the 7935 Trade 1/2" (dark taupe) were made in Harmondsworth, Middlesex, UK. All of these are double-insulated.

[Jon F]

I have a U-231 B&D Circular Saw that I lifted from my Dad a few years back. Still works great!

 

[ncfh]

I think mine's from the 20s...

The two brass plaques tell that it's a Black and Decker, 7/8", 350rpm electric drill, serial number, and couple patents, the latest of which is dated 1924.

The other plainly lists the handful of major cities where it can be sent for service, San Fransisco, New York, Detroit, etc. No addresses, so I suppose you just wrote Black and Decker (insert city) and that got it to where it was going.

REALLY heavy and still works.

[jeffmoss26]

I have the aforementioned puke green jigsaw (my dad's) and a dark gray 3/8 drill that I assume is around the same time frame...early 80s I would guess.

 

[Jack Olsen]

I've got a 5/8" B&D drill that just keeps on going. I have no idea when it was made. Anybody know?

 

[Steve from Socal]

These are not on your list, they are industrial models that date from the early 1970's. This drill and screw gun are two of the first power tools I got. My dad had a friend who was an industrial tool dealer and all the tools he got me were of great quality. These have been in continuous use since I got them.

[Milton Shaw]

I have one of the 8" industrial saws and it great except for the weight I think the only piece of plastic of any kind is the trigger. I also have an old as the hills B&D nibbler I bought used and took it to Dewalt's service center here and had them go over it and put a new punch and die on it. Works like new, even though you can't buy it new any more.

 

[Major Ramifications]

What was the relationship between B&D and Elu? I think B&D bought Elu and labeled some tools B&D/Elu. We had a B&D Elu router in the late '80's/Early '90's at work, and man, that thing was nice.

 

[Monte]

B+D bought Elu and transformed it into Dewalt www.Elu.de

Here are a few of my B&D tools. They all work well and are in regular home owner use. I'm not clear on the dates. Hopefully I got the right decade!

1950's 7" sander. 5.0 amp - 3,500 rpm. Made in Brockville, Ontario. My Dad taught me how to use this in the mid 60's when I was 14 and needed to do some body work on my 61 VW. He is 85 now and is passing his tools along to my brothers and I plus a few others. As far as I know my Dad, 2 brothers and I have been the only ones to have ever used this sander.

1970's 1/2" drill Model No. 7250. 4.2 amps - 500 rpm - no load. They made a point of indicating it is "reversible" on the label. Made in Brockville,Ontario . I bought this new at Canadian Tire.

1980's Work Wheel Model No. 7470. 6.0 amps - 3,400 rpm. I bought this used and wasn't sure I wanted it. It's actually quite useful.

1980's router Model No. 7614-04 Type 1. 8.5 amps - 25,000 rpm. Made in the U.S.A. and bought at Canadian Tire. This has been a great router and is dedicated to my router table. (Edit - Model No. corrected).

Picture 1: Not familiar with many pre-1970 tools yet, until I find a '50s B&D catalog that depicts the model shown in the 1st picture.

Picture 2: The 7250 drill is, yes, from the '70s. It superseded previous catalog #U127 (same design) in 1970, and was finally replaced by the all-plastic bodied #7224 in 1977.

Picture 3: The 7470-04 WORKWHEEL - sold from 1979-83.

Picture 4: The 5614-04 router - the correct model is 7614-04. During 1983 the original 8.5-amp motor was replaced by a 9-amp motor, so yours would be the first 7614-04.

I glance thru this thread, don't usually read much about old junk but i got to admit it was interesting, interesting to see the transformation from industrial to consumer, some of those advances they did on home stuff now standard on trade, also.
there is a lot of tool bashing out there but this evolution has produced some super products. A man can walk in to a Walmart, buy a 30$ grinder or drill, off the shelf, works great, could build a house with most of the tools before they wear out.
Maybe its why BD is still around? Neither BD or Walmart wants to be a return provider. I was surprised my local Kmart had about 10 of those 4 1/2 grinders on the shelf at 30$, same as Wally. For the quality of the tool and the cost its a super tool, back in the day one that good was 100$,,,, 10. 15 years ago, today 30. Someone still makes a better grinder, one with a bit more power but anyone but a full time 20 yr old welder couldn't wear the thing out in a lifetime. Some pieces, chassis they got right, this is based on the BD 2750 grinder, then the DW402 and now almost the same unit for the low end and to boot in real world testing I got to give it an A on durability and a plus cause it costs less than a third, adding multiples isn't a heart wrenching experience, wouldn't scare me to buy them a box at a time. In fact I like it better than its old trade version for durability, I got a whole box of old BD industrials and half a dozen sears, broke, haven't bought a new 4 half since I bought one at Walmart.
I did have a switch problem with one, it was well depreciated at that point, but,,, my guy fix it in about 10 minutes with no parts, was super easy to work on for those who would care but we run another box of wheels with it since then and the brushes look 50% or better. You can buy a HF grinder for even cheaper but,,,, its not the same.
That is a particular model though that was proven over time, had a toaster junk and a couple other household things.

 

[jeffmoss26]

Thanks for posting those scans! Very retro

 

[sberry]

The orange thing with the wire wheel on it looks cool, I kind of like that.

 

[rsanter]

I used to work for B&D in the 80s and have a bunch of their industrial commercial stuff
in fact I still have old NOS parts that they were obsoleting and going to trash.
I also have some of the sets of microfishe from then for the tool parts breakdowns.

there were alot of vatiations on the tolls back then between the lines. the same case on the outside and will have bearings or bushings on the inside.
sometimes during repairs we would give the customer the option to upgrade to a bearing even thought that wasnt strictly the policy

[PCO6]

Picture 4: The 5614-04 router - the correct model is 7614-04. During 1983 the original 8.5-amp motor was replaced by a 9-amp motor, so yours would be the first 7614-04.

~Ben

Ben - I checked again and you are right. Thanks for the info on the rest of the tools too.

Stew

 

[PCO6]

The orange thing with the wire wheel on it looks cool, I kind of like that.

Here is a picture of the other side. It's actually a very comfortable tool in your hands and is quite easy to use. As mentioned above by Ben, it was only produced from 1979 to 83. I don't know why B&D didn't continue with it. It works well.

1970's 1/2" drill Model No. 7250. 4.2 amps - 500 rpm - no load. They made a point of indicating it is "reversible" on the label. Made in Brockville,Ontario . I bought this new at Canadian Tire.

Bring this thread back from the dead... Yesterday I was given the same B&D drill pictured above by my neighbor, in near brand new condition. During my search on google I stumbled on this thread. The thing is the drill is missing the D handle and the side handle, knowing that these items are discontinued. Is there any chances that the handles from other B&D models will fit this drill? All I need is the side handle.
Any help in locating a side handle or retro fitting one will be appreciated!!

The side handle was also used on models 7260 and 7270 in the day, both of which were tagged "commercial duty" models. Two of the industrial/commercial versions were equivalents: 1305 and 1315 (pre-1978).

Thanks Ben,

I've searched the model numbers you posted and all the side handles listed came back as discontinued, I guess I'm SOL.

At least for now, unless you find one of those in good shape soon...
