...from this years' Covered Bridge Festival...I was rummaging through a box of stuff sitting on a table when out of the shadows of one corner of the tent a voice called out "everything in that box is one dollar." Not much in tools in that box or the tent for that matter but I spied this in the dollar box...

 

 

Craftsman #4216 push drill with (3) bits. Has the same Millers-Falls style chuck. While there is no actual number on this drill, inter-web searches list it as a #4216. I haven't nailed down if this was made for

Sears by Dunlap or Millers-Falls. both made push drills for Sears-Craftsman. while the handle is not red tenite, it looks and SMELLS identical to the M-F red tenite handle; has the same sort of "oxidation" too.

 

Spent time with a plastic scraper on the handle removing the build-up, then green Scotch-Brite on both the aluminum and the handle then off to the buffer with appropriate compounds.

I chose not to dis-assemble at this time since I had all the others in various states of re-conditioning,

Polished up pretty nice. I suspect the plunger spring may have a couple of broken coils since the lower shaft will drop into the barrel when inverted. However it seems to function OK w/o any noise, just weak.

Someday, I'll disassemble and take a look. Dremel brush to the bits then brush-on Johnson's Wax.

It does bear some resemblance to the "Buck Rogers" and has similar features. When the latch is held back, the handle rotates to dispense a bit at one of eight locations. You can feel a slight detent.

anyways, not bad for a buck and of course, I didn't have one like this either...Thanks for looking.

 

BTW, push drill summer hunt/ refurb season is pretty much over. I have several in the queue from past picks and who knows what the winter hunt season may yield.

No way should you hide them. You actually make something on a regular basis with yours.

Aside from your M-F #100 and mine, I've never seen another one anywhere ever.

 

I do still use my original Stanley Handyman #46A quite a bit I bought new back in 1973...wish I had bought a couple extra sets of bits.

That's what got me started in this helpless addiction pattern a few years back when I realized Stanley had quick making them.

That's why I imposed my $5 limit...The guy where I bought the other Craftsman had several more, + Yankee screwdrivers but all were at $8 or more.

He had one Stanley #46 w/ different color handles than the ones I have...I had it in my hand for a while but finally put it back. If there had been bits with it, I might have succumbed.

 

Think I've added a couple Dunlaps and a Stanley 41 & Millers-Falls to the total shown below...IDK, must be a vitamin deficiency or something...:P I may be at

boarder line hoarding now.

Whatever kind of border it is I think you have crossed it. That is a great job of refurbing you do on them

Nice work!  I have several that could use that kind of TLC.  They follow me home when they have a good selection of bits and a low price.  I havent worked on these much though!
