My oldest working power tool is a Black & Decker circular saw made in the late 1940s. It is a planetary gear saw (the basis of most modern circular saws) with a 1500-watt motor. It has an all-magnesium body and weighs not much more than a well-made modern saw with a nylon motor housing. It does, however, use 6-1/2" blades rather than 7-1/4" ones.
If I can get parts for a power tool this old, restoring it would be great ! I have a B & D electric drill, 7190, Type 1, which is squealing when I use it, and I was looking on info on how to service & restore it. Modern drills are OK, but love the old stuff with metal housings.
Keyless chucks did exist back then but they were only found on imported tools. They were invented in Germany in 1908. The electric hand drill was also invented in Germany, by Carl and Wilhelm Fein in 1895, twenty-one years before Black & Decker developed theirs.
Just like my dads from the early 30's. Mine runs great, did replace cord. Single speed but still cool to own.
back then when black and decker make a good powertools

A good video. I like these old tool videos.The front of the drills are chucks , and to open or close a chuck key is used. cheers !
That's a real vintage tool, would have like to see if it still ran, I didn't know Black and Decker were even in existence that long ago!

You did all that work, yet didn't bother to fire it up....
interesting!
Go buy a larger sheet of plastic to work on before your rug becomes smeared with grease.
That probably would have been a good idea. Then again, that carpet will be in the landfill, along with the rest of the house, in about 6 months.

The land was sold to be re-developed.

talk less. you should just show the footage
Quit mumbling and get to the work at hand.
If you have a work shop with no light, you don't have a workshop. If you need an old drill as a conversational piece, you need help👎🏻
Too much yack, get on with it.
