That and an old Wen jig saw. Not too bad for 80.00 obo for a collector of vintage saws. I have no affiliation with the sale. |

I saw the title and was wondering who Thor was and why he was looking through Craigslist. Really, I’m that ignorant. -- Backer boards, stop blocks, build oversized, and never buy a hand plane-- |

Thor used to make some really nice compact little corded drills in the 60s and maybe into the 70s. They were still making all aluminum tools when B&D went to plastic. I liked the Thor drills because they centered the motor over the handle and they had really good balance. -- Michael :-{| Diapers and politicians both need to be changed often; and for the same reason. |

This looks similar to a ‘Skill’ from my dad’s tools. Darned heavy they are. -- Backer boards, stop blocks, build oversized, and never buy a hand plane-- |

I have to laugh every time I hear or read the word …”Thor” , mostly due to an old joke about The Invisible Man, MightyThor , and a woman with a speech impediment , lying on a beach. -- When did quiet and quite become the same word ? I'm guessing about the same time as your and you're did. |
