The Other Measuring Tools
Yes indeed. I have a large all metal Sears 1/2" drill as well that a plumber was kind enough to clue me in on one day. It has a section of 1/2" black iron pipe screwed into the top of it for holding onto it like a jack hammer. Has a shovel handle on the back to carry it around. High gear reduction, low speed and TONS of torque. It has almost wrapped me up a couple of times. Blush
Bought it many years ago and still going strong today.

I also still have 90-95% of the Craftsman tool set that my parents bought me for Christmas when I was (14?) years old. This was one of the big sets with a ton of tools that covered all the bases. Made a living with those tools until I was in my 20's. By then I was bringing home a bigger paycheck and starting to buy higher end tools like Snap-On. But the Craftsman tools still stayed in my every day toolbox for many more years. These days they have more 'patina' on them but still work as well as the day they were placed under the tree. I remember being able to exchange them at any Sears store with no questions asked in the rare event something broke or just plain wore out. Those days disappeared years ago as well. Sad.

The 5-10% of those original tools I'm missing now apparently grew legs and walked away on their own over the years. Normally during lunch hours for some odd reason. Rolleyes
