Yes, there is a market for vintage power tools. give a list by make and model and i can give you an indication of the interest in them. Old castiron table saws, bandsaws, jointers and planers have the greatest interest to people.

electric 1/2" impact tool [model # 51918850]

sabre saw [model # 31527941]

1/2" reversable drill [model # 3157783]

Speed way [by thor]:

i also found some old hand drills, 2 are what i would call ratcheting, one has a hand crank with i think a 3 gear planetary set, and i found a few hand planes with no identifying tags/stampings on them.

if it will help, i can post pic's of all this stuff to help with identifying what exactly they are.

thanks again for any info you can pass along,

My dad has this craftsman table jig saw and I'm trying to see if it is worth anything before I sell it to make room in the garage. If you email me, I can send an attachment back with pictures, worth 2-3000 words. Thanks, Randy

sorry, didn't know if my address shows up.

anyone else have any info?

tomz71ss: the items that you have listed, I would personally consider as canadates for a garage sale. without knowing the details of condition and age, it is hard to give values. most of the type tools you list are in the hand tool catagory selling at garage sales for $5 to maybe $25 max. The type of tools that have value are the stationary and bench types, like table saws, 12 inch or larger power planers, jointers, etc

thank you, that's what i was looking for. not being knowledgeable about them, i didn't want to garage sale them and let a $100 tool go for $5.

again, thanks for the input, now i can garage sale them [once i determine they all work] and not feel like i over charged someone, or gave something away.

thanks,
