Old Craftsman stuff

[John Dirks Jr]

Are these old power tools worth anything to collectors?  They work. I have new cordless stuff I use now.  I was about to recycle these.  Should I go ahead and chuck them in the metal bin at the landfill?

They have excellent scrap value.I'd guess you're looking at nearly 3 bucks worth of stuff.If you take a half day and separate the metals, you'll net $5

I'll give them a good home.  A friend has a circular saw from the same period.  It sits on a living room shelf in perfect condition.

I've decided to keep them.  They work fine and if I ever need them in a bind when another tool breaks down, they're ready to use.  And, if you like that old fashion electric motor smell, you get that too when you use them.
