Im just having a clear out in preparation for car boot tomorrow, and going through an ex shopmates hoarde i found these old beasts. Are they worth anything to anyone, for restoration or otherwise? Doesnt look like theyd go for much on ebay and seems a shame to chuck em. The two with plugs fired up but i only ran them for a fraction of a second, not trusting them to be in running order...

Wolf Heavy Duty Drill

Black and Decker no.95 Ripsnorter circular saw

Black and Decker portable 5" grinder

Can supply more pictures to anyone who might be interested

I'm a bit surprised that you haven't had a reply from someone with more knowledge than me but I would think that the ripsnorter saw is an item that would be of interest to a lot of people and would be best sold on an auction site.
As for the other items I don't know I have a few myself that I keep for sentiment reasons but I am not sure if they have a value to anybody else.j
 
To bin them would be sacrilege! These old tools may not be very refined, but they're generally so well made they'll last forever.

I already have a Ripsnorter and a couple of drills, but I may be interested in the grinder if you are willing to post?

I have fond memories of using a similar drill to put some screws in.

Ahh the innocence of youth! (hammer) (hammer)

After using one of those 'portable grinders' as an apprentice the grinderette was a minor miracle.
I think 'portable' was an appropriate term, yes you could pick it up an carry it, use - no way!
 
Well i think IIll stick them up as a job lot on ebay, and if they dont go then ill post again and anyone who wants any/all of them can have them for postage costs. I like the idea of cleaning them up but realistically ive got way too many hobbies and unfinished projects already. Thanks all!
