Antique Black And Decker Heavy Duty Electric Drill
I bought this at a yard sale almost 10 years ago. Probably one of the most unique unusual power tools i own. Enjoy!

Very nice drill, man!!!
Black and Decker was the first company to make an electric drill.
@craig1974 Oh. That’s what i figured. That would sorta get on my nerves. But I guess you really can’t complain because it is so old.
@wheely132 nope
I like that! Sure beats a lot of the now day power drills! I do have a question though, I don’t see any switches on it except the motor switch. Is it reversible?
I bet that thing will last another 100 years!
I just found one in my tennents house the left owing me 3k . It has a date of 1943 and looks like yours . Think I can sell it for 3k and get my money back they owe me?
Funny thing on mine It has no reverse does your?

Nicely done, thanks for posting.
Now thats when B&d really made some high quality tools
The old tools were built to run forever. I have a bunch of old tools like that. I take them apart regrease the gear box and re oil the bearings then polish them up like new.
My Dad had a metal drill sort of like that and I nearly got killed when I touched a metal fence while drilling. Yes, Dad wired it… lol
reminds me of the old metal drill my dad gave me as a kid we called it driller killer due to its faulty trigger switch lol when i had my truck i put aftermarket lights on the bumper i used the new drill but i got stuck so i used driller killer no problem at all for that lol 
@wilkes85 My cordless Ryobi batteries last awhile when driving long screws repeativly , but go dead really fast when drilling large holes. I had to drill eight 1/2 inch by 4 inch long holes for the railing posts, and the cordless lasted until the last hole when i had to pull out the corded drill. The cord is ok, but aging. If it was brittle i would of fixed it asap.
aah you should use that as your main drill. I would, the cordless ones are nice, but the batteries always go dead too quickly. I use a corded drill, but it’s only a few years old. Also, I suggest you wrap the cord in electrical tape where it’s cracking. You don’t want a nasty surprise some day lol
@KrankieV2 no doubt
@805ROADKING Yeah you guessed it! The only thing i really see B@D name on now is cordless firestorm drills!
That’s when B&D still knew how to make real tools eh Buddy!!☺
they sure don’t make stuff like this anymore!
