Does anyone remember this 1973 Black & Decker promotional film about their line of sanders ("If you've got a job for a sander, then Black & Decker's got the sander for the job")? In this ad, we see: * 7404 Double Insulated Finishing Sander (officially went on sale in July 1973) * 7420 Deluxe...

I have a question: is it true that the dust bag supplied with the 74-000 and 74-002 dust collector attachment kits is the same? The individual part numbers for the bag assembly suggest so (87316 bag attachment, 87317 bag support and 87355 bag), and that only the skirts used are different (the...

I am looking to fill the void for my Black & Decker #74-000 Dust Collector. It is for my 7456 Type 1 Finishing Sander. This accessory also fits finishing sander models 7414, 7424, 7480 and 7490. There is limited information that I can find of this accessory, or for the sander itself, and so...

What do you folks remember of the Black & Decker Professional line of power tools from the 1980s and early 1990s? What I mean is what experiences have you had with them and, were you inspired to buy these after watching Hometime (in particular the Dean Johnson-JoAnne Liebeler period from...

I wonder if anyone remembers the original lineup of DeWalt-branded power tools from 1992 with their distinct golden yellow bodies? I am also asking for literature from back in the day (send to [email protected] and/or [email protected]). These tools were in many ways similar to...

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...

Does anyone know which of the two cordless screwdrivers Skil had introduced during the 1980s was the best deal? The first of these was introduced in late 1982: the model 2000 3.6V (3 cell) cordless screwdriver (with new model of 2305 in early 1985), which resembles a standard drill with its...
