Seamus Curran
They don’t get used very often anymore (might be a few years now), and they’re mine the second he fully retires, but my dad’s nail pullers were my great-grandfather’s and are over 100 years old.
Alex Franklin
My CF12 Clarke from 1951.
restorationhardwoodflooring
A Stanley 9 handplane from about 1906.
Josh Brake
I have an old Starret that was my grandfather’s. I would guess it’s close to 80 years old.
Joe Smith
A late ’50s Super 8. We rarely use it, but every now and then we get into it.
Mike Guitron
My 23-year-old Orebro 10-inch belt sander. Bought it new, and it still runs like new with meticulous maintenance.
Michael Smith
My 2002 Orebro belt sander.
Frank Foulk
My 1927 Stanley floor hammer with an octagon head.
Shawn Hegwood
My 1950s 12-inch Clarke drum sander. I use it for old varnish wax floors. It’s cheap on paper.
Ken Hoffman
My Stanley No. 82 cabinet scraper—made between 1909–1958.
Daniel Springer
My red top Super 7 edger nicknamed “Mean Machine” because it eats different than most other Super 7s. It belonged to one of my uncles, who taught my dad how to do floors. Anyone who has run it says it’s set up perfect, but it digs trenches deep and fast. It was the one I learned on. Any B2 or Super 7 I’ve run isn’t even comparable.
Thomas Lane
The rubber mallet my dad bought about 40 years ago.
Erik Livas
My 1993 Hummel.
Jimmy Alexander LLanes
My Randmeister from 1993.
Alexander Vallant
The Stanley Scraper No. 82 likely dates from before 1942. I use it daily and love it!
David Runyon
Probably me … I wonder how long it’s gonna last; the odometer keeps rolling over, and I’ve lost count of the miles.
Clint Fudge
This old banger: Big Bertha.
Casey Ditsworth
My body, mostly. Has a few newer parts though.
Ron Teljeur
My Porter Cable 16-gauge brad nailer or my Bostitch cleat nailers, both from late 1980s. And then there’s me at 62 ... still fairly functional.
