Choice tub that had 7 old power tols in it.  They all work, so what's not to like.  The half inch drill has no logo on it...any ideas from you gurus??

The name Black & Decker rings a very small bell, but what is the name on the big drill in lower left?   All these followed you home?

[dimwittedmoose51]

Clockwise, from the 9 O'Clock position,  Craftsman sabre saw, K-mart sander, Craftsman 1/4" drill, Wen Sabre saw, No Name 1/2 drive drill, Powr-Kraft Sabre Saw, and a Barret 1/4" "grinder"(hand-held??).

If the motor runs good on that little Sears saw, tune up the reciprocating part, and it will be your favorite saw. I used one for 15 years until it gave up the ghost and I still miss it. Quiet, easy, almost no vibration, runs like a good sewing machine!

 Get that crap off the mystery tool and get closer, so we can see!!

Scott Asks, I respond!!  I put one of my 1/2" Milwaukee drills in the picture for size comparison, but I don't think I'm going to get that lucky on this one.  The chuck is pretty stiff, but I haven't soaked it yet and the red paint on the bottom of the handle may have been someone's "territorial" marking.

The access covers are metal, as indicated by the corrosion on them. 

Let the research begin.....no serial number or plate or anything to go on, unless they're underneath the access covers.

TIA

I have no idea about the D-handle drill.  I like those air scoops though!
 But what I was really wanting a better picture of, was this thing??

Okay, may bad.  It's a 9000 rpm 2 amp motor with a Ridgid Supreme 1/4" chuck on it  the model at the bottom of the ID plate says "CS" or maybe "OS".  You take it from there.  Barrett is not a manufacturer I'm familiar with.

So that 9000 rpm thing is an early die grinder?

tough to do fine work with it, but I bet you couldn't slow it down.

>but I bet you couldn't slow it down.

No, but if you break the stone at 9000 rpm, you are going to spend the day going around the neighborhood replacing broken windows...

[dimwittedmoose51]

The handle is definitely home made....

[scottg]

I think it might be a flex shaft motor. Like a jeweler's flex shaft?
 Looks like it would work.
  2 amps at 7000 would make a larger heaver shaft tool I think?

 Those 4 bolts on the side??? I bet that went to either a swiveling foot that sat on a bench? 
 Or a hanger to hang up to a pole behind the bench. 
 yours Scott.

I agree with Scottg, explains the home made handle also...

[dimwittedmoose51]

Thanks gentlemen.  Case closed.  Next time I'm in an old timeyjewelry store, I'll ask the headd gemologist about that......

Pretty much exactly who you want.
 I saw some guys (on film)  somewhere down the Ca coast 2 or 400 miles, who were slicing up jade like it was warm soap, with a big flex shaft. 
 Incredibly fast and deep cuts like you would never expect hard stone to work. 

 They never told what they were using. Just showed how 3-D effortless it was for them.

I think that I can identify your "No-Name" drill as a Black & Decker, by comparison to a B&D "Standard" 3/8" drill that I have.  Despite the difference in size, mine has the steel rear cover plates, and the divided "D" handle with swinging trigger and pushbutton lock.  I will post some photos to show why I think that mine is the "little brother" to yours.

The tape over part of the plates was there when I bought it, as was the price tag.  The green Post-Tt (tm) tape carries my sequential number; in other words, this is the 238th electric drill that I have studied in enough detail to be able to get brand, manufacturer, date (if known), general features, power requirements, speed etc., etc., etc. for my collection's documentation.
