The First Modern Power Tool

$ 35.00

B&D 1917 pat. corded drill. This drill is the patent for the first ever modern trigger switch, pistol grip design corded drill! This was the birth of corded power tools, amazing! There's a high chance this thing was building planes to aid the allied powers' war effort. Might've even contributed to both world wars. Very cool piece of history, and the motor feels like it might still be functional.
