Power Tools
This is my blog about power tools that were made in Australia. I am interested to learn about their design, manufacture and use. Hopefully I will be able to create an archive of these power tools so this important chapter of Australian manufacturing is not completely lost.

Black and Decker Special Drill
A Black and Decker Special Drill, not made in Australia (made in England), but a beautiful example of early electric drill design. This one has no provision for an auxillary handle so holding after long use may have become problematic, both because of the weight of the object and the heat created would have transfered directly to were your hand would be placed. Notice also the switch is not a trigger but a slide on the top of the handle.
