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.
This is a Black and Decker Dual Action Sander, model 7436. It is an all plastic construction, manufactured in Australia and available from 1983. This example was purchased off ebay.
This is a Black and Decker GD15 2 speed drill. Most of the brown paint finish has worn away. This model was on the market from 1963. This particular example was donated by Richard Musgrove.
