Is this drill worth anything?

[JimVonBaden]

I saw it at an estate sale today.

Cool old press, but I'd be more interested in the blacksmith fuller hammer.

 

[McFarmer]

I had the floor version for years, never a problem.

Think I'd have that JimVonBob if it were over this side o'the pond.

 

[Squashfest81]

Yes. I just picked one up a few weeks ago. Paid $50 and I think that was a screamin deal. Haven't used it to do much. It is considerably heavier, tighter, and runs smoother than the pos made in china drill it replaced. And it looks cool.

 

[billspit]

I would say heck yes.

 

[Ben Buck]

Yes Sir Jim. Some good ol' iron right there!

That Delta Homecraft DP is better then any of the ChiCom or other Asian garbage being passed off as tools today.

Built at the Tupelo plant in 1953. looks like its in good shape and will clean up nicely.

They wanted $150 for it, but tomorrow it will be 50% off. Anyone in the DC area is welcome to it.

Jim, I inherited that very same model from my grandfather. It works like a champ!
