they came from my grandfather's backyard. They have been in my garage for a while and I wanted to finally find out how old they are.

They're all from 1967 except for the last one, it's from 1968.



You need to fix your picture links, they don't work.

Probably a small fortune in scrap aluminum there! J/K!

I've got my dad's old 1/2" drill like that with the aluminum case. It'll either rip your arm off, or rip the power cord in half!

They were all used pretty hard, probably grandad was a tradesman?

Occasionally, at an estate sale, I'll come across an old power tool new in the box or like new. Probably a retiring husband was given it as a birthday present, hoping he'd take the hint and do some chores around the house. Too late to change him then.

Unfortunately, the like-new-old-tools are always the cheapest homeowner models, never the professional grade.

thnx, jack vines.

But, I would say that the quality would still be better than the new 'homeowner grade' tools, that are made in China.
