What's the oldest,best made tool you have.. ? I bought this Delta mitre saw 25 years ago.. and it was probably 5 years old then.. It's been trouble free and done thousands of cuts in that time..
Probably my Skyline Beverage Boy. Combined corkscrew, bottle and tin opener. Great bit of kit and must be at least sixty years old by now
It's reduced 3 Indian hardwood, slate crates, into firewood.. Some of it 3x3... I thought it deserved a ... bit of recognition... Ps the wheelbarrow is... 35+ years old too..
I found in my garage my old b&d circular saw ,must be about fourty years old. Its a death trap and needs to be binned , but you know i just cant bin it .it will never be used by me , perhaps when someone asks " have you a circular saw i can lend " ......
I think our old 70s Flymo. It’s held together entirely with duct tape and cable ties, but still works better than the new ones.
Sadly this is the death throws of a pair of steps i made in school in 1972 in the wood work class . Like a lame horse they had a broken leg and it was the kindest thing to do . They served me well
The old ones are the best the saying is so true they don’t make them like the used too. I bought a brand new 100 litre compressor lasted just over 12 months just long enough for the warranty to run out, I now bought a 300 litre compressor from the late 60s works every time had some hard use as well.
I use a Stanley hand wood plane and a tenon saw that are probably 60-70 years old. Power tools : a Black and Decker strimmer from the 1980's
Ooh now you're talking. When I was looking for a decent jack plane I scoured Ebay for weeks for a good old-school, made in England Stanley. Believe it or not they are collectors items in their original patina. Luckily for me the chap who was selling it had reconditioned it, probably halving its value in the process. Proper blade made of proper English steel instead of Chinese cheese
