Stanley Yankee Push Drill History & Disassembly Instructions

In this video we look at one of the first truely cordless drill/driver tools. A Vintage Stanley model 130A screwdriver.
I'll do a partial disassembly to clean out the ratchet mechanism, and bring it back into service.

I’ve got 2 of these that belonged to my grandfather. They’re great for doing light work where a power drill could cause damage. I collect Zippo lighters and use them to remove flints that get stuck in the flint tubes.

[@ballinator]

I'll have to keep that in mind. I ruined a lighter years ago trying to drill out the flint...

[@ToolsandTime]

Love the intro and what a cool tool!

[@ballinator]

Thanks. I've been having a lot of fun making the intros.

I have one of these in my farm truck box, did this last summer. Now I'll make a 1/4" adaptor as I already made a 1/4" socket adaptor (if your good you can grind one using the old bit as a template)

[@ballinator]

I never thought to use one with sockets. Now I'm thinking about making that adapter too...

Thanks for watching.

should have used a yankee screwdriver to take apart the yankee screwdriver, this is wrong at so many levels

[@ballinator]

OMG. A yankee screwdriver, within a yankee screwdriver. Yankee Inception. YankCeption.
