That Wolf drill looks like a beast for sure.

Here is another old one given to me by a friend. It works but don't plan on using it.  No data plate, but it has a big CP on it which may be Chicago Pneumatic??

I had a Chicago Pneumatic air ratchet in the early 80's with a logo like that. Very nice user.

CP for sure, but I cannot see that thing as being any newer than the 60's at most. No way the 1980's for sure.
You boys better hold on cause I'm gonna have to stand on it!

Yeah, after posting that I realized the way I phrased it made it sound like the drill was 1980's. Definitley not 80's date - just meant the logo reminded me of the early 80's ratchet I had. Which was a very solid tool.
This drill being older is probably even more solid. Sorry for my bad writing.

That drill looks more like 1930's era to me --

Might be, never seen an electric CP tool myself, only air.

Here is another one, I can date this one as I bought it new in 1952.  This proves I'm old as dirt.  It is a Millers Falls heavy duty sander which I used on many cars.  It is no lightweight.

Millers Falls was a great company that made lots of good tools.

Looks like you made a good investment on that one.

Seriously though it is a testament to a great tool to last a almost 70 years and it's really cool looking.
People who confuse etymology and entomology bug me in ways I can’t put into words.
