Yup, way smother running than the new junk you can buy these days.

The silly thing is, I've sold at least a dozen of these on eBay in the last ten years, and then I end up having to buy one off ebay.....

I bought mine for $10 @ garage sale.
I asked the guy if he could plug it in to make sure it works.
He was holding it in his arms & I plugged it in.
I saw it start but he looked at me & said "well damn, it used to work"!
I told him it's working now. Lol
Smooth is right.

That was a great buy!
I love a good garage sale.

Trouble is you have to go to a lot of (garbage) sales for every good one you find.

Agreed, and I simply don't have the patience for it.

The $5 jigsaw is definitely 40 years old, the guy said it was blowing up fuses, that's why no one looked at it in the photo. I found the inscription Lesto on the casing and the inscription Scintilla Szwajcaria on the engine, I already know it by the color of the casing. See how clogged the ventilation holes are - this monument definitely needs service. Heavy armored equipment

History of the Bosch jigsaw

The first jigsaw was implemented on the principle of the sewing machine by Albert Kaufmann, an employee of the Swiss company of Scintilla in 1947.

Needed another pair of chaps since my son has started sawing. Got the huskies cuz I saw @afleetcommand use them with wedges in the pocket.

I think I used a fireside friend somewhere as a kid and vaguely remember it. Been wanting one and stumbled on one for a decent deal. $34 I think. Why have two hammer faces when you can have one and a chopper!

I bet it will work as a compact small tree wedge driver too.

Expensive this time, a Metabo grinder for $30

West Germany, so it is 35 years old or older and requires inspection. The clutch and slow start of the engine works like a Meybach, it's amazing

I collect

and sometimes I use them

I like Metabo, provided it is old, I already have several devices. Covers are a problem because grinders with a clutch have a thick flange of 2" or more

I like the older Metabo machines. My grinder has the least amount of vibration of all my grinders. My hammerdrill is serious for it's size.

I added grease and blew it out with compressed air, nuts from a newer Metabo

and I also had a handle from the era. A rubber cable was installed because someone installed a hard plastic one

We call that a sander here. Looks like 1/3 sheet.
