Not a lot to showcase, but a few keepers.

From the 7 o'clock position:

So what's the story with that "Mall" tool? Does the saw blade reciprocate back and forth when a drill drives the input shaft?

Ahhhmemories...

There is a REASON it says "Do not open box' on the box.....

As I found out on my very first job.....

hehe

Yeah Rusty, the cardboard wasn't in tip top shape when I bought them, so they've both popped on me once already....lol

Yes, the recipro saw does oscillate with something spinning it from the rear.  still wondering if there was some sort of flex shaft that drove all these tools??
