Black and Decker Professional 3/4″ drill motor. Thing is huge & heavy. Condition is like new, but probably 20+ years old. Did I mention it’s heavy? Friend bought it years ago for one particular job and hasn’t used it since. Needs a cord as he left it wrapped tightly for many years and it took a set and cracked when unbent. Offers?

Any chance we could get a picture?

Boss, picture attached. This thing weighs a ton. Might be useful if you needed to mix cement or run a winch?
It's 21" long, 26" across . Has a switch in both handles, hi/lo speed switch is on the side, reversing switch is a slider inside the handle with the cord. The cord is deteriorated from age, needs to be replaced. The label sez "two man operation" so it can break 4 arms at once?

Maybe it is just my old eyes.....but the pic looks as if it is only a 1/2" chuck?????
My "reccolection" is that a 3/4" chuck is a monster .....would you humor me and see if you can actually chuck a 3/4" diameter rod in that chuck in the picture.
If not then I assume the drill is rated for a maximum 3/4"chuck /bit size although the picture will only chuck a 1/2" shank.
If it will chuck a 3/4" shank...then I must humble myself with an apology

I didn't try it, but the chuck does say ¾" on it. It is a big sucker, but I'll have a look at it again tomorrow and see how big a thingee I can get in it.

The chuck is a Jacobs -- # 3 taper 3/16" to 3/4" made in USA.
There is also a number 36 on it.
On the label on the drill it says 32mm • 1¼" - I am guessing that would be the rated max size hole for drilling into steel?

My most humble apologies....time for that Laser Surgery!!
So if that is the case and porportions are thus......that is a HUMONGUS DRILL!!!!!!!! Wish I needed it......$150 is a deal.

P.S. ...been a while since I had to roast a crow......still tastes like sh.................ugar!
You are right, it is one hell of a drill. Somebody probably has a use for it, if I had a big augur bit it would probably do post holes nicely.

>> ...been a while since I had to roast a crow.
Yep. Ideally the interval gets longer every time.
:)
The official recipe calls for leaving the guts in and the feathers on........burned feathers really suuuck, but rancid bubbly, broiled guts just turns my tummy inside out.......and as a result the times between crow ala foot'n'mouth becomes much longer than when my hair was there and not gray at that.
Only Piffin has eaten more crow than anyone else.....just look at how OLD he is!!!
