Will these 4 rare chainsaw attachments from the 80s still work? Versa tools drill, generator, pump!

Chainsaw powered generator? Chainsaw powered drill?? Chainsaw powered water pump!?!? In todays video I show off some old chainsaw attachments that were designed and sold in the 80s that never quite took off. Well see which ones I can bring back to life after 40 years and which ones we cant so much...

Those are awesome attachments from the minds of the 80s back then if battery powered tools didn't exist or was pretty expensive thats the way to go.awesome find

[@weldingandwheeling9883]

Thank you, they are definitely an old school idea, makes you wonder what life would be like without battery powered tools everywhere.

For the generator you may need to connect it to a 12v battery when you hit the Excite button to get power flowing or you can plug in a drill and spin the chuck. By hand while holding the trigger down to get the generator to work. I've had to do that before on older generators to get them to start producing power again.

Ahh you know I've heard of something similar for old engine drives, Ill try that tonight. thanks!

@@weldingandwheeling9883 Milwaukee developed the "sawzall" I think back in the 50s. They trademarked the name. First electric hacksaw. Now when people talk about the "sawzall" it could be any brand. Like when Skil made the circular saw. Many people use the term "Skilsaw" for any circular saw.
We use Sawzalls in the FD even though they are Dewalt brand.
