Black & Decker Drill Stand and 1/2” Heavy Duty Drill Combo.

Pre- Planned Obsolescence

[@tonysheerness2427]

Corded versus battery, corded will work in 70 years time, batteries will all be dead. The cord can be a pain but I prefer them, no charging works first time every time.

[@robfahey1349]

I feel the same way although it seems like there's no incentives for companies to continue making corded products, everything seems to be cordless these days. I think its about the money because once you commit to cordless and invest in it, next thing you know they change the batteries and then your stuck having to start over again. I feel like the companies know this and hope for this planned obsolescence.

[@johnfix1]

You did it. The drill looks better than I even imagined. It is a real showpiece. As a bonus it works perfectly.too. A most enjoyable video series John.

[@stevebark4873]

That was the same kind of B&D drill that almost killed me way back in 1963. Fresh out of high school working on my first job. The boss told me to get the drill motor and hone a cylinder out. Got all set up with my feet firmly planted & my hands gripping the handle. I pulled the trigger and the thing was shorted out & all that electricity went through me. I couldn’t do a thing but emit some sort of a guttural sounds . I couldn’t let go either. Luckily my co worker saw what was happening and rushed over to unplug the thing. WOW! What an experience. I still remember that feeling. I’m lucky to be alive. I have a great deal of respect for electricity today. This was before they put a U-ground plug on tools.

[@ScoutCrafter]

Wow! You are lucky to be here today!!! I too have been shocked before and also have a healthy respect for electricity. Thanks!!!

[@jamesstanley9839]

Awesome job on the B+D drill press! Ready for another 50 years or more! Thanks for sharing with us we all enjoyed the video!

[@jimjohnston7688]

That turned out so nice. Living in Maryland I remember when most Black and Decker tools were made in Towson. They really gave you a sense of pride when you owned one. A great tribute to a fine old brand.

Just simply outstanding work! You really hit this one out of the ballpark as it look brand new. Thanks for sharing this great restoration.

[@ElwoodFarmGoats]

I never thought I would call a drill beautiful but that one is beautiful. You do such amazing work on restoring tools. I can’t wait to start restoring some of my grandfathers tools this winter.

[@highdownmartin]

Totally agree on bearings. My landrover gearbox rebuild and also the front axle, I’ve left 50 year old bearings in place, still within tolerance, as they are named bearings and glass hard steel. Maybe a new one would make the shaft ever so slightly tighter but in months it’d be back to where the old ones are and in a coupla years be worn out and knackered! Half the battle is to know when to leave well alone. I’ve got a similar drill to your recent pair , it’s a Wolf and runs so slowly! Great for honing bores!

[@EVILDR235]

For a replacement strain relief for small power tools, I have been using rubber spark plug boots. The red /orange ones are silicone and don't work well. You and your subscriber did a great job refinishing those drills.

[@saigaking]

Love it John great call on the bearing’s that’s one of my biggest Bug bears people replacing parts for no good reason man that gets Me fantastic results on this one I bet it smells great when running Nothing like the smell of an old drill or am I crazy god bless take care 👍🙏🗽🇺🇸🇳🇿🦅

Seeing the old drill run gives me a feeling reminiscent of watching the model train run around the base of the Christmas tree. Beautiful job.

[@lewiemcneely9143]

That is a SWEET setup and I bet Unc used these a lot helping his dad and in the foundry too. Great job and I remember the black with B&D too. And Anthony did a sweet job as well. Happy week, John CS! A sweet video!

[@OldSneelock]

Certainly did use the drill. The shop had a radial arm drill press. With a #3 Morse taper chuck that could drill a 3" hole with a twist drill.

[@lewiemcneely9143]

@@OldSneelock I could use a setup like that in my limited spaces but I have the vise and a big gut to push the bits through so I guess all is fuffish!

[@nicknicoletti9778]

I’m glad you went with the polished cap on the end instead of paint. Really gave it the retro look. The drill sounds quite powerful on the video. And the stand.. fantastic!

[@Kyocera234]

BEAUTIFUL, WOW. I am yelling, yes.

[@OldSneelock]

Beautiful work on the drill and stand John. Though I do more work with battery powered tools these days I still like the older Black & Decker tools. I gave my nephew Matt Lynd @ Turtle Chapel Forge on Facebook, an aluminum frame bench drill press with a newer, but still aluminum body drill that he is using to make custom knives. He also bought Old #47. The treadle grinder I rebuilt. No shop work for a while. When I do get back into the shop I have a few hundred projects to work on.

[@tombob671]

Wow, it is gorgeous! Great job John. 👌👍👍

[@prasadvn524]

That is a brilliant drill repair idea using 2 vises

[@ScoutCrafter]

Having two vises on boards really has helped me out a few times, it's even better if the vises are the same size and model but so many times you can clamp each vise to the bench and suspend work between them. If you were doing a lot of drills a jig could be made to really make things easy. Thanks!

[@tonylenge424]

Beautiful drill. Funny but I like the shiny cap, the black cap, and probably the red cap. Guess you have to get one in each color 😀. Thanks

[@ScoutCrafter]

James you are so right, the high RPM's really will destroy bits! =D Thanks!

[@lv_woodturner3899]

The drill looks terrific. Nice job on the cleanup. I like the polished cap more than the black, although the black does look good. You did not mention what you did to the chuck taper to clean it up. Looks to be holding well now. I have a Milwaukee Magnum 1/2in corded drill I purchased around 1982. Back then it was made in USA. Still looks and works like new. It does not get much use these days, but when I need the torque it is waiting to go to work. Dave.

[@RRINTHESHOP]

Awesome restore, works great, nice for your shop. Both Black and Polished look fantastic. I think a little red somewhere would of been good.

How sweet it is, you out did yourself on this one...txs for sharing

[@jpsimon206]

Evening John! I am just catching up. For once I have nothing to add. Your new longer format videos are extremely informative and I agree with everything you have said. I could not possibly add a thing. I did want to mention, that jeweling photo I was speaking of with the factory women making craftsman name plates, I had a closer look with a magnifying glass. I thought you might like to know, apparently craftsman used Ticonderoga number 2 solely for jeweling. There are multiple visible boxes. You might be the only other person excited about this. Hope the holidays are treating you well. Take care

[@robscites4561]

I've had good luck on old bearings, even ones that are frozen. I'll pick out as much dirt as possible, douse it in wd40, place it in a hot mixture of Simple Green and water in the HF ultrasonic cleaner (3 times on max time), dry it out then lightly oil as needed. They almost always work like new. It saves a ton of money on those oddball ones like on Walker Turner drill presses.

[@ScoutCrafter]

Rob- You are so right, those old bearings were made of Virgin 52100 steel, some of the best steel ever made! The knife guys all look for that steel to make awesome knives. Most drills the bearings get dirty and the grease gets fry but the bearings are still great. The exceptions are machines with a lot of hours and heavy load forces.. Thanks!!!!!!

What a great resto Scout. You are so right about if it ain’t broke don’t fix it. It get quite a few power tools from my scrap yard and repair them but you will never see a video of that on my channel because as soon as you don’t replace a bearing all the Tubers get on and complain that you didn’t do it properly whether the bearings or brushes need replacing or not. There are some nasty keyboard jockeys out there. Cheers Stuart 🇦🇺

[@ScoutCrafter]

LOL Stuart- What a lot of the people watching don't understand is the old bearings and brushes were much better quality then you can get today because most of today's stuff is Sub-Par, the older bearing were made of 52100 steel that was amazing. New bearings are questionable as to what they are made of. The brushes back then were also made of a very fine carbon and little filler, today not so. I even have old drills with 2 prong cords that are still nice with no cracking, I will keep them and just bite on a stick! =D
