We can go out for a drive without her makeup and she looks fine. If I want to take the black one out, it is three or four hours in the "bathroom" to get ready.

      I've used a rotary all my life, it's a great tool to learn due to it amazing work it can do for you.
      It take countless hours to master though.

              Thanks for the link to this thread! I love them all and just thinking to how and who used them and what they used them on makes me think of a time much further back than my 24 years! Anything that has a name badge riveted on is worth keeping to me, I just bought a 60's DeVilbiss compressor that i'm going to restore to working order but like yourself keep it looking it's age and showing it's use.

She weights a ton and is loud but is all business. She wears her battle scares proudly. She runs perfect and has plenty of RPMs left in her.

                  She works her magic at a set 1450RMPs. She is almost entirely made of metal. Notice the side handle is made of wood.

                  Love this one, wouldn't mine having one myself.

                          He is the latest beauty to the collection. She is another of the Black and Decker family. The search for this polisher started when I found and purchased the can of "Home Utility Automotive Polish." I was fascinated by that little polisher on the front. Almost two years after I bought the can I found the exact "home utility" polisher on eBay for $10!!!!

                          Isn't she a beauty?
