  • Original Sears Drill

    This was my Dad's oldest drill, except for the manual ones, and it still works. Anyone guess the approximate age?

    Lol. Looks pneumatic. I'll guess 1955.

      Great drill! I'd guess late 50's as well. The one I grew up with was slightly smaller.

            60's because the trigger is plastic. I believe the triggers before the 60's were metal.

              I remember my Dad's drill would throw blue sparks, visible inside. I was scared of the thing.
