Hey all,

I have 2 drills. A bosch and a really really old B&D one. I still prefer the old one ever tho its not cordless or anything its a good no thrills drill. Anyone else keep old tools?

My grandad has one of the old B&D jobbies.

I dont tend to keep old powertools, once they are passed their best, i upgrade, and pass the old ones on fto family for diy use

God you should see my dads tool kit. He is always going on about his drill which he has had since 1962 and still working. I point out that it weights about 10 stone, 1 speed, no reverse, no hammer action, no screwdriver function, 2 pin plug, sounds like an airplane taking off and wouldn't drill through a digestive biscuit
