Yet another great video and great tip that you shouldn't be scared to purchase older tools.

I have a shop full of old tools. I have newer tools, too, but I do try to buy old tools for the quality and to save money. A word of caution; not all old tools are the quality of your Skil belt sander. It's a buyer beware situation. Do your research before you shop.

just replaced a 25 year old bit of kit that was worked to death, with a 21 year old same model but only used maybe twice a year . no wear anywhere even the labels are all still on it. all i hear is the new stuff is made lighter and flimsier. and now with all the save the planet crap even the engines are crap. the planet would benefit from well made stuff not needing replaced.
