Another enjoyable video. I have at least a half dozen older Black and Decker drill motors. One of them is only 400 rpm, this one will break your arm if it gets caught while drilling. My grandfather used this with a 1" masonry bit to drill dozens and Dozens of holes through 2 - 10" thick cistern walls in his basement after he had city water run back in the early 70's. He then broken part of the walls out to expand his basement area. Can't imagine how long this took him, I was only about 9 or 10 years old at the time and don't recall him doing this. He was a very tough man.
My dad had a smaller B&D drill that I inherited. The running sound they make is unforgettable and who (as a kid) doesn’t love blue sparks happening inside that you can see !! So different to now ...
I have a drill-by another company that resembles yours. I need to clean mine as you did yours. These drills are work horses. I have many old metal electric tools. They have personally. When I change the power cords I add the ground. These still work when batteries die. Very seldom do you find a new tool better then the vintage ones. That’s why I enjoy your channel. Thank You
John great point on GFI protection. Back in the 90s I had the worlds record for tossing an old Craftsman circular saw. My silly nephew wired an external 110 outlet at grandma's house. I was over there a few weeks later doing some repair work on her porch. Standing on the dew conered grass I started to cut a 2x4, SHOCK, CURSE WORDS AND THREW THE SAW. Got the outlet fixed and never trusted that nimrod nephew again. Told grandma to never use his services again. LOL
Hi John , the drill is a double insulated metal cased piece of equipment . The GFI will only work if the drill has a ground wire (earth wire in the UK) because it detects the fault in the ground wire and disconnects the supply . Great vid 👍🏻🇬🇧
The drill looks and sounds great!👍 So you saw my volunteer cherry tomatoes and said hmm maybe I should take a look in my planter! Look harder, there might be asparagus in there! 😁. Now that you have food growing in your yard, its a YARDEN! 😉
Something special to me whenever i see these old power tools.... What feels like 100years ago i recall my grandfather, (just some faint images in my memory) when i was so young i wasn't even at school, (62 now) who was working in his boat shed building a boat. I have an image of a friendly to me man with white hair pushing on a large silver shining tool that was making wood shavings that covered up & fell from the silver thing held strongly in his hands... and it was noisy! The image of a big rounded silver thing in the all darkened wood shavings and sawdust... Yes i guess it must have been a power tool like this and it was all shinny on account of it having been handled & worked all day long i guess...
Drill is a nice one. I'll started restoring old metal drills a couple of years ago. We were getting them at auctions. Me and my son would buy a box for one tool and get several others. Lots of times the old metal drills nobody wanted. The only thing I do is I add a three prong plug to ground it and new cord three wire. Ever since when I was working maintenance for a steel warehouse as a teenager I had a coworker grabbed by a metal drill and almost didn't get away from it. Ever since they worry me. The ones I have done I just wiped down but after seeing what the 50 50 does I think I will get them back out. Stay safe and healthy my friend. Thanks
There's 10 guys out there missing one nut or screw each! Some packer gave you all the extra pieces that was in his or her pocket! LOL! Anyway...another great video!! Should be a piece of whatever it was in the end of the plug to cover the connections.
That drill turned out very nice. Not much more to do on it. Or just leave it as-is. And putting up a railing for your mail carrier? That, planting trees, rescuing cats & mice and much more. You really are the nicest guy on the internet.
I got lit UP by an old electric chair metal body B&D when I was a kid. Now I'll tear whatever it is down and put a 3-wire cord and plug in it. And the local machine had one of the same looking drill motor that was 3 times the size with that one and had about a 5 foot steel bar attached to it for a handle. The guy was boring out a truck hub for helicoils for new MACK truck wheel studs and said you did NOT want to run that rig without that rod being on the ground. Thanks John CS and I ain't EVEN stingy with the 50/50! GBWYall! NICE handrail BTW!
That railing, and the kit does look good! Same with that drill. Cleaned up really nice! I like your new tree the most though. It's gonna look great during the Christmas Holiday season! Cheers SC!
Enjoyed ss always. I used to have an all metal Sunbeam circular saw that always scared me about getting electrocuted. Always worked fine and never a tingle. Cheers
John, being zapped in the UK with 230 volts is very, very painful. A couple of times it got me when I was young and daft, now I am old and just a little wiser I always make sure the juice is OFF. The drill looks a beauty and you can imagine this was some handyman's pride and joy in the 1950s.
I have one of these drills, that I got from my grandfather on my mother's side. Although it is not a chuckless drill. Yet it has everything with it. Outside the plug was broken and finally came apart so it has a new plug end.
Great video scout love the drill looks like something out of Buck rogers ha ha fantastic,man that 50/50 what a great job it Does as long as your not stingy with the 50/50 love it God bless take care 🦅👍🙏🇺🇸🗽🇳🇿
Beautiful trees Bud!! I had 10 six ft Douglas Firs in my backyard when I moved in 38 years ago, they're over 60 ft now!! I use to buy Blue Spruce Christmas trees and plant them after Christmas, now they're all about 30 ft!!☺
Tom great seeing you and your Dad tonight, I swear he fit right in with all the tools and mechanical stuff! Too bad we didn’t have an old transmission laying around- He could have given us a class on rebuilding it! 😃👍
Hey John, I know that we watch a ton of the same channels because of how often I see you in the comments. No doubt you have a full menu, but I wanted to recommend a channel called Nik Colyer. I started watching him for his machining videos, they are okay. The last year or so he has been alternating shop videos with autobiographical stories. He grew up in California during the flower child years, but ran a Harley shop that catered to outlaw biker gangs. He's just a really good, funny storyteller. It's not some macho junk like it sounds. I really really think you would enjoy his stories. Maybe give one a shot? Same goes to anyone else reading this. This man is like the ultimate storyteller. Very similar to scout crafter in that respect.
JP! Yes! I know Nik’s work! I’ve seen a bunch of his videos! I always used to admire how he would be working in his shop when the temp was freezing and he just bundles up! 😂😂😂👍
@@ScoutCrafter I liked his machining videos a bit, but the stories blew me away. I am just finishing up one of his books, and my good opinion has quadrupled! Some serious wisdom along with laughs. Manages to ride the line between being crude without being offensive.
Those old metal power tools are cool.. I haven't tackled one yet.. but see the little small hand drills alot... yours cleaned up nicely... nice job... I can look at them either way....with sunglasses or not...😎 the badges came out nice! Thanks Mr. John!
I just love the look of them old drills. Huge compared to what we use now. I also thought the millers falls drill you did a while back was very interesting and a nice restoration. Those metal labels are absolutely the best!!
Cool looking old drill. I wish I had my grandfathers old power tools. Skillsaw and drills. And I DO remember getting a 120v jingle in the hand as a kid! And I couldn’t help but to notice that beautiful craftsman hammer in the background.
That Black & Decker drill is a BEAST! I love restoring old metal cased tools. I have my dad's old drill and jig saw from the 60s. I also have a wall with about a dozen metal cased power tools and they still work. Now I'm going to look for one of those Black & Decker drills. They remind me of Ray guns from Buck Roger's or Flash Gordon!
Yes! I thought the same thing buck Rogers or Flash Gordon from the 30s this had all the same lightning holes and that hexagonal case outstanding stuff! 😃👍
Great video! A few years ago I happened upon a 1/4 inch Dayton drill motor with the same configuration only slightly smaller. I had to repair the switch and now it works like a champ. The only thing is that it is somewhat awkward to use as compared to today’s pistol grip drills. It is great to look at though.
You mentioned the 50/50 with transmission fluid. Yesterday I was driving out of town on the Interstate and the chuck holes in the right lane were shaking the Jeep crazy. I noticed some smoke so I pulled over and something was leaking and getting back on the hot exhaust. Well, I found out fast what the leak was: the engine was going but the Jeep wasn't. So I've got a leak in the transmission - and a towing bill. Rats!
Oh Kathy I feel your pain! I had a 1994 Chevy Impala wagon and the transmission went! It cost me $1800 to fix the transmission and at that time I did not have that kind of money to throw away! I went to the Transmission shop and asked what cars don't have transmission problems? He said come with me... I went to his parking lot where the cars waiting for transmissions were stored, he said "notice anything?" and as I looked around I realized they were all American cars! Then I said "Wait- What about that Toyota over in the corner?" He said "That's my car..." =D From then on I will only buy a car under warranty! That hurt!
What an awesome clean up I can't wait to see the restore on this one great job as always I have a similar one sitting in my shed begging for this exact treatment
Beautiful trees! Pines, firs or evergreens are beautiful trees and are enjoyable to me large or small. Looks like the perfect place to plant them as well!
The drill looks nice Scoutcrafter. I like that original finish all cleaned up like that but I also like it when it’s taken “over the top” and all gleaming like a presentation trophy. Variety is the spice of life I suppose. I remember when grounded cords became required. Every time you saw one somebody had cut the ground prong off because all the outlets hadn’t been changed over yet. 😆 Take care.
LOL- Yes, also remember the ground adapter plugs that allowed you to plug in a grounded plug into a 2 prong outlet? Nobody ever attached the ground wire! =D
The old plugs need a shield. I cut my shields from the plastic tops of coffee cans. It looked like there was a couple of oil ports on that drill. Nice video. Good Luck, Rick
Hi Rick! I remember there were a few different types of shields, some were cardboard type material and others were a black grainy material that looked like tarpaper! I also remember they had a slot or relief groove that they would fit into. This one didn’t have it. I didn’t Oil the bushing because I wanted to confirm the oil B&D specified for those bushings. I bet there is an owners manual online! Thanks 😃👍
I was working on a scaffold in a factory and got nailed with some high voltage, I'm lucky it didn't knock me off the scaffolding to my death.............I remember at lunchtime I was still feeling a little goofy............Nice pine trees.
High current electricity is incredibly scary, I have been shocked a couple times as a kid playing around with it but seeing guys work near the big power lines always gains my respect!
Hello John, What was the name of the railing and how much was it? I need to do the same and I"d appreciate the brand name. Thanks in advance. Regards Leah
Hi Leah! Raw Bacon has it right, it is surprisingly sturdy and well made, the only issue I had is my steps are a bit steeper then most so I had to slightly enlarge the cutout on the top upright with a cutoff wheel. That allowed the railing to drop down to fit my stairs perfectly. The top rail is Cast Iron! www.amazon.com/Metty-Metal-StepTransitional-Installation-Steps（Patent/dp/B08QV852JP
I almost bought one of those drills! The service tag was replaced with a Dutch plaque. Guy wants €65, I think that's quite hefty. I'm painting my great granddads wheelbarrow. I was about finished and just let something drop on it and I'm out of paint. I'm so terribly bumped. Look forward to Fridays and seeing what you bought on the fleamarket!
Hi Fred, that plug was very tight fit, those old plugs were a job to get just right. it's like doing shocks on your car, the first side takes you an hour and the second side takes 15 minutes! LOL The newer HD plugs are so nice to work with especially the USA made ones!
In the uk as it’s 230v we have RCD OR RCBO that are the law now and must be fitted with all new circuit or additions to old circuit. It does just the same and must shut down with in 40 ms regards Scott
Hello John I hope you’re having a great day I have just put a film on it is in the form of a request and could you explain to us how the theory of centre of gravity works hopefully my film will give you some food for thought and you could give us one of your fantastic explanations
An oldie but goodie, Scout. That drill motor might only be a 1/4", but I bet it could wring off your arm. It is my understanding that B&D started with a patent for the switch on a portable drill motor. PS - Back in the day, the bypass cable cutters of choice were Brenners. Mine are Klein which I mean to replace with Brenners when they wear out. Looks like the Kleins are going to outlive me. PSS - If you plan on using that drill motor, ground it.
I made a stupid mistake once trying to cut steel cable with the cable cutters... At the time I didn't know they were for soft material only. The cable I tried to cut was 1/4" and it was a no-go! =-D
I really enjoyed the video. I agree with the finish you put on the drill. I watched a video if one of these where they painted it an aluminum color . It looked nice but too artificial. Your video made me take mine out and drill a few holes with it just for fun. It is very strong. Thank you for sending people to my channel. A recommendation from you gives a good boost.
Hi John! Thanks again so much for the GFCI, that is always a great idea when working with older or sketchy equipment. It sure beats biting down on a hunk of leather! 😂👍
My parents live in north jersey ( I do too). They have some gorgeous mature eastern white pines. They have long needles my goodness what a mess they make and tough to rake /blow
Yes, the long needle pines drop a lot of material and make a mess! However when we used to go camping I always looked for a pine grove and would set up camp there. Nothing like sleeping on a soft bed of pine needles and smelling the fresh pine smell all night! =D
Nice clean up John on the drill! They dont make anything in china with that quality. I was imagining that little wrench that came with you hand rail all ground and polished with some ScoutCrafter red on it.Lol . ✌🇺🇸Roger
Love the clean up on that drill,but I remember those drills where always a death trap. Being an electrical fitter by trade I cringe ever time I see an un grounded old metal case appliance. Thank god we now have double insulated appliances. Any good cordless drill would out preform that old drill. However nice to see someone conserving history. Carry on the good work love your channel.
Hi Milan- You’re so right, The newer drills are lighter, safer and have more features... I rarely use the older ones but every once and a while I will pull one out and use it for a dedicated countersink or pre-drill before a screw and they are always fun to hear and smell the ozone! 😃👍
We learned the hard way, that you plant a tree as if it is already full grown. We had to cut down so many, as they grew into the house, fence, phone polls and power lines or too close to the sidewalk/street. Never got to enjoy an adult tree very long.
Morning John - It’s obvious that even the 50/50 itself knows not to be stingy. Because every time I mix up a batch (both times :) ) it’s all over the bench the next day. I’m guessing it’s a product of the acetone evaporating. I know you keep your spray bottle in a can, and that would contain a potential mess. But my question is it possible to avoid that mess? What am I doing wrong?
It is absolutely a fantastic tip, the GFCI extension cord. I think it is very important to know that every primary underwriter in America will automatically nix a payout for a house fire if there is one of these anywhere on the property. Had a neighbor years ago who bought a hot tub but was too cheap to hire an electrician. He used a GFCI pigtail. House was 65% destroyed. He did not get one penny. Fantastic to use for a safety check, but I don't recommend anybody use one of these as a permanent fix.
Like the railing except for shoveling snow. I picked up a newer 1/2" version of that drill in a lot of tools from an auction. Really nice except the handle for your other hand was just a carriage bolt. I will have improve that. Really wouldn't use it much as the newer Milwaukee is a workhorse.
These drill motors are bullet proof. The information on the tag is always underrated. Black and Decker was st one time the BEST PERIOD !!!!!!!!!
Every time I use my bottle of 50/50 I automatically tell myself, “don’t be stingy with the 50/50”. Love that quote lol. Beautiful drill by the way.
Another enjoyable video. I have at least a half dozen older Black and Decker drill motors. One of them is only 400 rpm, this one will break your arm if it gets caught while drilling. My grandfather used this with a 1" masonry bit to drill dozens and Dozens of holes through 2 - 10" thick cistern walls in his basement after he had city water run back in the early 70's. He then broken part of the walls out to expand his basement area. Can't imagine how long this took him, I was only about 9 or 10 years old at the time and don't recall him doing this. He was a very tough man.
Jeff- Looking back at our grandparents I think that they were so much tougher then we are... =D
That 50/50 has saved me many, many times, I Love It.
My dad had a smaller B&D drill that I inherited. The running sound they make is unforgettable and who (as a kid) doesn’t love blue sparks happening inside that you can see !! So different to now ...
I have a drill-by another company that resembles yours. I need to clean mine as you did yours. These drills are work horses. I have many old metal electric tools. They have personally. When I change the power cords I add the ground. These still work when batteries die. Very seldom do you find a new tool better then the vintage ones. That’s why I enjoy your channel. Thank You
"Don't be stingy with the 50/50!" Has become part of my daily lexicon.
John great point on GFI protection. Back in the 90s I had the worlds record for tossing an old Craftsman circular saw. My silly nephew wired an external 110 outlet at grandma's house. I was over there a few weeks later doing some repair work on her porch. Standing on the dew conered grass I started to cut a 2x4, SHOCK, CURSE WORDS AND THREW THE SAW. Got the outlet fixed and never trusted that nimrod nephew again. Told grandma to never use his services again. LOL
Hi John , the drill is a double insulated metal cased piece of equipment . The GFI will only work if the drill has a ground wire (earth wire in the UK) because it detects the fault in the ground wire and disconnects the supply . Great vid 👍🏻🇬🇧
The drill looks and sounds great!👍 So you saw my volunteer cherry tomatoes and said hmm maybe I should take a look in my planter! Look harder, there might be asparagus in there! 😁. Now that you have food growing in your yard, its a YARDEN! 😉
James those Cherry tomatoes were sweet as sugar! My only problem is if I eat too many fresh tomatoes I get heartburn! LOL
That drill has cleaned up so well, I need to do this with the two I bought, Thanks John 🛠️👍😊
The Black & Decker is looking very well after your clean-up. Great.
What I like is that you can still buy the brushes and replace them if need be and they will run like new again and for a long time
Something special to me whenever i see these old power tools.... What feels like 100years ago i recall my grandfather, (just some faint images in my memory) when i was so young i wasn't even at school, (62 now) who was working in his boat shed building a boat.

That's a good looking railing. Nice job on the drill. Parcels left under the mailbox are also exposed to possible territory marking by passing dogs.
LOL!!!!!
Fantastic work, great job of educating the masses. You’re a National Treasure my friend.
I still can't get over how nice that cord is. That drill looks great cleaned up......ling live the 50/50 🤣. Cheers
great Wednesday, txs for sharing...say hi to your cats
Very cool nostalgic drill and darn close to 2500 rpm wow! They made them good back then.
There's 10 guys out there missing one nut or screw each! Some packer gave you all the extra pieces that was in his or her pocket! LOL! Anyway...another great video!! Should be a piece of whatever it was in the end of the plug to cover the connections.

Hey SC, your missing the cardboard circle on the plug prongs & another screw on the handle.
Man, that drill is fabulous.
I haven't seen any lately but I would always chuckle when I'd see those gargantuan ¼" electric drills.
It's funny back in the early days they had these big small chucked drills, then years later they had these big chuck small drills! LOL
That railing, and the kit does look good! Same with that drill. Cleaned up really nice! I like your new tree the most though. It's gonna look great during the Christmas Holiday season! Cheers SC!
Enjoyed ss always. I used to have an all metal Sunbeam circular saw that always scared me about getting electrocuted. Always worked fine and never a tingle. Cheers
What a bad ass drill. Great job.
In Europe we call them RCD, Residual Current Device. And these specific ones, which are integrated into a cable, we call PRCD with the P for portable.
John, being zapped in the UK with 230 volts is very, very painful. A couple of times it got me when I was young and daft, now I am old and just a little wiser I always make sure the juice is OFF. The drill looks a beauty and you can imagine this was some handyman's pride and joy in the 1950s.

Buck rogers ha ha fantastic,man that 50/50 what a great job it
Does as long as your not stingy with the 50/50 love it
God bless take care 🦅👍🙏🇺🇸🗽🇳🇿
Man just with the clean up that looks brand new. Those trees are going to look really nice with snow on them I bet :D
Beautiful trees Bud!! I had 10 six ft Douglas Firs in my backyard when I moved in 38 years ago, they're over 60 ft now!! I use to buy Blue Spruce Christmas trees and plant them after Christmas, now they're all about 30 ft!!☺
Wow! I love everything about evergreens!
The trees are very nice. Also, thank you for thinking of the Letter Carrier. Well done.
Wonderful video. Like the tip of using shrink wrap on the plug. Thank you very much!
Im impressed. Dam good job. I can appreciate the time and effort put into this
Your videos always make my day. Thank you!
Like the heat shrink over the plug. Never thought about that.
Love those old drills! Cleaned up beautiful!

I was hoping you’d take apart the gear box to add grease! It’s always neat to see the gears inside
I just love the look of them old drills. Huge compared to what we use now. I also thought the millers falls drill you did a while back was very interesting and a nice restoration. Those metal labels are absolutely the best!!
Just cleaning it up was a major improvement! It's got a cool retro Buck Rogers look to it.
Very nice clean up. Keeping it to the original is definitely the way to go. It just looks so classic. Can't wait to see the Elephant's Trunk haul.
Cool looking old drill. I wish I had my grandfathers old power tools. Skillsaw and drills. And I DO remember getting a 120v jingle in the hand as a kid! And I couldn’t help but to notice that beautiful craftsman hammer in the background.
Nice cleanup and very informative.
Great job it would be so cool to do a job with that drill. To even pull it out on a job site.

DONT BE STINGY!
With the 50/50!!!
Hahaha I love it.
I just had the same experience with a wall mounted hand rail from Amazon. It looks like yours and came with all the hardware I would need.
😂👍. Bob- The one thing you can count on with Chinese products is that you can’t count on them! 😂

Gfci will trip between 4mA and 6mA. Glad ya got that my brother😉
Mike- It beats biting down on a piece of leather strap! LOL
Good information today and you have a nice usable drill! Thank You for sharing
Hello John, What was the name of the railing and how much was it? I need to do the same and I"d appreciate the brand name. Thanks in advance. Regards Leah
Metty Metal, about $150 for that size but obviously more for more steps.
@@rawbacon thank you
Hi Leah! Raw Bacon has it right, it is surprisingly sturdy and well made, the only issue I had is my steps are a bit steeper then most so I had to slightly enlarge the cutout on the top upright with a cutoff wheel. That allowed the railing to drop down to fit my stairs perfectly. The top rail is Cast Iron!

I hope you get to these drills soon this is one of my favorite drill bodies and I want to see the other one that you mentioned

I almost bought one of those drills! The service tag was replaced with a Dutch plaque. Guy wants €65, I think that's quite hefty.
I'm painting my great granddads wheelbarrow. I was about finished and just let something drop on it and I'm out of paint. I'm so terribly bumped.
Look forward to Fridays and seeing what you bought on the fleamarket!
The cord and plug screamed to me for an underwriters knot but you took the stress off the cord with the shrink wrap.
Hi Fred, that plug was very tight fit, those old plugs were a job to get just right. it's like doing shocks on your car, the first side takes you an hour and the second side takes 15 minutes! LOL The newer HD plugs are so nice to work with especially the USA made ones!
Yeah I got zap a few times with 210 it's like a shot of coffee lol
Nice job on the drill, but I would have put a grounded cord on it, just for safety.
The rail will be helpful when it snows and ices up, up there.
In the uk as it’s 230v we have RCD OR RCBO that are the law now and must be fitted with all new circuit or additions to old circuit. It does just the same and must shut down with in 40 ms regards Scott
..Nice to see something made of something besides far East plastic..lol...good one, stay safe..
Hello John I hope you’re having a great day I have just put a film on it is in the form of a request and could you explain to us how the theory of centre of gravity works hopefully my film will give you some food for thought and you could give us one of your fantastic explanations
My dad had one of these drills. 😁
An oldie but goodie, Scout. That drill motor might only be a 1/4", but I bet it could wring off your arm. It is my understanding that B&D started with a patent for the switch on a portable drill motor. PS - Back in the day, the bypass cable cutters of choice were Brenners. Mine are Klein which I mean to replace with Brenners when they wear out. Looks like the Kleins are going to outlive me. PSS - If you plan on using that drill motor, ground it.
I made a stupid mistake once trying to cut steel cable with the cable cutters... At the time I didn't know they were for soft material only. The cable I tried to cut was 1/4" and it was a no-go! =-D
@@ScoutCrafter You weren't the first to do that, John. Some cutters have "NOT FOR ACSR" (Aluminium conductor steel-reinforced) right on them.
In Peter Lorre's Movie M when their looking to find him, they use those drills.
I really enjoyed the video. I agree with the finish you put on the drill. I watched a video if one of these where they painted it an aluminum color . It looked nice but too artificial. Your video made me take mine out and drill a few holes with it just for fun. It is very strong. Thank you for sending people to my channel. A recommendation from you gives a good boost.
Hi John! Thanks again so much for the GFCI, that is always a great idea when working with older or sketchy equipment. It sure beats biting down on a hunk of leather! 😂👍
My parents live in north jersey ( I do too). They have some gorgeous mature eastern white pines. They have long needles my goodness what a mess they make and tough to rake /blow
Yes, the long needle pines drop a lot of material and make a mess! However when we used to go camping I always looked for a pine grove and would set up camp there. Nothing like sleeping on a soft bed of pine needles and smelling the fresh pine smell all night! =D
Nice clean up John on the drill! They dont make anything in china with that quality. I was imagining that little wrench that came with you hand rail all ground and polished with some ScoutCrafter red on it.Lol . ✌🇺🇸Roger
Nice tighty whitey rags. Lol. I recently cut up some rags myself
Excelente trabajo como siempre, usa algún lubricante" echo en casa" por usted?
No hablo inglés perdón. . Saludos desde Argentina
Love the clean up on that drill,but I remember those drills where always a death trap. Being an electrical fitter by trade I cringe ever time I see an un grounded old metal case appliance. Thank god we now have double insulated appliances. Any good cordless drill would out preform that old drill. However nice to see someone conserving history. Carry on the good work love your channel.
Hi Milan- You’re so right, The newer drills are lighter, safer and have more features... I rarely use the older ones but every once and a while I will pull one out and use it for a dedicated countersink or pre-drill before a screw and they are always fun to hear and smell the ozone! 😃👍
We learned the hard way, that you plant a tree as if it is already full grown. We had to cut down so many, as they grew into the house, fence, phone polls and power lines or too close to the sidewalk/street. Never got to enjoy an adult tree very long.
It’s true! When you get older you take 10 times longer planning the location then planting the tree! 😂👍
Why not replace the plug and cord with a 3 prong plug and Cord?
Morning John - It’s obvious that even the 50/50 itself knows not to be stingy. Because every time I mix up a batch (both times :) ) it’s all over the bench the next day. I’m guessing it’s a product of the acetone evaporating. I know you keep your spray bottle in a can, and that would contain a potential mess. But my question is it possible to avoid that mess? What am I doing wrong?
Those cutters look like they could be for trimming a really large animals nails.
It is absolutely a fantastic tip, the GFCI extension cord. I think it is very important to know that every primary underwriter in America will automatically nix a payout for a house fire if there is one of these anywhere on the property. Had a neighbor years ago who bought a hot tub but was too cheap to hire an electrician. He used a GFCI pigtail. House was 65% destroyed. He did not get one penny. Fantastic to use for a safety check, but I don't recommend anybody use one of these as a permanent fix.
Nice.
man oh man a little scoutcrafter red on that wrench and it would be beautiful asset to your collection of tools hey?lol
Like the railing except for shoveling snow. I picked up a newer 1/2" version of that drill in a lot of tools from an auction. Really nice except the handle for your other hand was just a carriage bolt. I will have improve that. Really wouldn't use it much as the newer Milwaukee is a workhorse.
Nothing beats a Milwaukee Hole Shooter!!!!
I have a similar drill which is a Skil, and it's forest green... I wonder if the 50/50 would affect the paint
I have used the 50/50 on a lot of stuff with great results, however Lacquer thinner has ruined a bunch of stuff!!!! LOL
