That is a nice drill & stand at a good price! Hope you enjoy it! When my late father's big wolf drill finally gave up he bought a Sealey bench drill which I have inherited. I have only used it once with slipping belts and cheap sloppy everything. Your drill is better by far and probably has as...

Some more Wolf power tools - by this time re-branded Kango - possibly late 1970s? or 1980s. The 7" was bought in error on eBay. It was advertised as a 9" but when it arrived and was wrong the seller offered it at a reduced rate so it was kept and put on wire brush/wire wheel duties. The 4" was...

I am the second careful owner! This was my first time using it. Other blades had been used by the previous owner and one was quite dull. So it had seen some action. This blade was more or less new as you can see from the clear writing on it. The saw was a nice little find!

A few more photos of the Wolf 'Made in England' tools. This time a saw - very heavy to use but strong and well able to do anything asked of it. Vintage Wolf Saw (as new) by K Garrett, on Flickr Vintage Wolf Saw (as new) by K Garrett, on Flickr

Ironic indeed!!! Thanks for the link. I'll have a read at it later. I see the bloke who is drilling isn't wearing eye protection. How things have changed! I would love to see the collection. I have had success uploading the photos that are on my Flickr photo stream but only after a lot of trial...

That's a lot of detective work! Interesting even if a little sad the way things have changed and jobs have gone but for most of the above there is a good reputation for quality/proper industrial tools!

Yes the planer seems to have been a real big hit! Wolf did make a mistake they should have kept up the quality and they could possibly still be around! We shouldn't be buying drills that don't last and that can't be repaired. It's not good for the environment!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! But I guess it is...

Some Britool British made spanners new and unused in a military tool roll - not sure what it was for? Ex-army Tool roll by K Garrett, on Flickr

I thought I had too many Petersen vise grips then I looked through this thread and realised I hadn't enough! Some nice collections!! Below are a few that I had already posted on Flickr! Vice Grips / Vise Grips by K Garrett, on Flickr VISE-GRIP by K Garrett, on Flickr Vice Grips by K Garrett, on...

Very interesting. Wolf must have been big back in the day! Quite a few of the big metal case ones seem to be still in use - on farms etc.

The drill was very reliable and the big grinders were like the big drill - a little dangerous! I bought a grinderette about 2 years ago from eBay and discovered exactly what you said. The clutch makes it practically useless and the on off switch awkward and unsafe. I only bought it for the...

Some more Wolf (this time branded Kango) tools! Tim the toolman Taylor would probably describe this as a 'mandrill' the second handle has been removed in this photo but hopefully I will get another photo of the drill apart from the stand to show it a little better. Kango/Wolf vintage magnetic...

I was just so pleased with these Petersen original Vise Grip clamps when I got them in the post this morning I thought I would share �� Peterson Vise Grips by K Garrett, on Flickr

Some more Wolf Sapphire tools from the collection. This time it is grinders! The 9" and 4" [/url]Wolf Grinder & Grinderette by K Garrett, on Flickr[/IMG] Later I got a 7" Wolf Sapphire Grinders by K Garrett, on Flickr Unfortunately they don't have safety triggers - so not something I would let...

They are indeed sturdy vises. The jaws are 3 1/4" wide and open up to 2".

It is great to find someone who is a 'kindred spirit' when it comes to tools. I would rather give something to someone who loved it than sell it to someone who wouldn't appreciate it. I'm sure you son will thank you more as time goes on - a snap-on box is something I would love to get my hands...

The big 3/4 drills were what introduced me to the brand. I have seen them on eBay for very little money along with the stand but they are always pick up only! If the seller only knew it - if he was willing to post the drill alone it would probably get him 4 times the money! I think the last one...

Yes, I can't imagine the tools that have the Wolf name today are anything close to the old ones in terms of quality. How many will be around 40+ years after they were built?? Sorry, I don't have a spare end guard (at least not yet). I'm trying to get some members of the family who are interested...

I'm not sure what the connection is? The grinder looks as if it could possibly be from the 1960s. When I see these on eBay they are often advertised as being very smooth running. So obviously they have lasted well.
