NicholasShetley Posted January 1, 2016 Report Share Posted January 1, 2016 Do any of you guys have tools that you bought a long time ago but still work like the day you bought them? Some tools just seem like they won't die. One of those such tools is my dads ingersoll rand 231 that he has had since he graduated high school. My grandpa now uses it at his home garage. The only thing wrong with it is the friction ring is broken. It still kicks like a mule though. It is just over 31 years old too. If you guys have any old tools still kicking post them here.

JimboS1ice Posted January 1, 2016 Report Share Posted January 1, 2016 My old man had about a 25-30 year old black and decker circular saw that still works like a charmJimboSent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Logan Posted January 1, 2016 Report Share Posted January 1, 2016 The tool that has lasted me the longest is probably my craftsmen wrenches Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Millerzconstruction Posted January 1, 2016 Report Share Posted January 1, 2016 Makita skill saw. And still using a Makita router. It is red all over. With a red case. My dad bought it new. When they were red. Any body know or have one like it? I'll take a pic if I can remember to. Sent from my LGAS995 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hugh Jass Posted January 1, 2016 Report Share Posted January 1, 2016 I have some vintage Ridgid pipe wrenches that my grandfather left me. I use them once in a while, he said he used the crap out of them but the jaws still look like new, even with my use. Very well made. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisK Posted January 1, 2016 Report Share Posted January 1, 2016 My Dad's old Craftsman 7-1/4" circular saw I have. He gave it to me when he moved to Florida. I replaced the cord with an aftermarket kit from HD and a new blade and it works just fine. Not a powerhouse like my new Skilsaw but it gets the job done quite nicely. Pretty sweet being the thing is over thirty years old. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
