Are you sure you want to do that? I think Brian posted a picture of one of them the other night at the other place.

I think she'd be perfect for Norm...![]()
My wife asked my tonite if i wanted any kind of tools for Christmas
I have a nice set, but there is something I would like, I don't even know if they still make them, I want a old school drill the kind you have to crank, these are the best for thin or soft wood, dry wall etc they don't have a lot of torque, so they don't break or oversize what your drilling into
All the new stuff is fast and easy but if you want true craftsmanship you have to go Old School
Do they still sell these or is she going to have to search a flea market or swap meet for one
I agree. Some of the best tools I own are passed down from a couple generations ago.They all hold up much better than today's tools.
Issue is, vacation days caanot be taken during the winter break, longstanding agreement. Sure, I can get my day off moved to that day, but I'd lose the more valuable Saturday off. The show is 12pm, no way I could go to the show and make it for my 2-10:30 shift. The other show is 4pm, same deal. I'm not devestated over it, DW is going to bring one of her cousins along, the girls'll love that. Nothing I can do union wise can change it. I on;y work 3 days that week as it is.![]()
Picked up the tickets today for DW, they are going on the 27th, she won the tix. I can't go, can't get a shift to accomidate the time.

Agree. You must be able to buy them somewhere. Check hand drill on line, maybe Craig's list.
Not in the negatives yet...![]()
I found a bunch at Sears.I've seen them at flea markets at the old time tool guy tables, never checked at loses, but the better bet would probably be the old timer tool tables since they are probably made better then the one's today (if still made) and most likely are cheaper![]()
Nice win by the pats. Night guys.

50 pages and about a week since I've been here. Hope all is well. We've been pre-occupied with last minute preparations for our Ukranian visitor and trying to learn Russian (Rosetta Stone is amazing). We pick her up at Dulles Sunday night!![]()
