My grandpa was a high school shop teacher after serving in WWII, so I have an absolute gob of early power tools and, more importantly, a ton of manual tools. I love using the manual tools. They take for-fucking-ever, but they don’t intimidate me the way power tools do.

My grandpa also did various mechanical jobs after WWII. It was wild going through stuff when we moved them in with us

Did you come across a bunch of power tools where the cord screws in to the base, so it’s real easy to replace?
Like the tools come full apart, that’s insane! They also probably had guides with them to fix them!
Like I can probably still use those shock factories! I certainly do not -want- to use them, even though they almost certainly still work (other than maybe corrosion), but the documentation to repair them probably still exists and that’s amazing!!
