Anyone ever heard of one of these. I was in a Local lumberyard i have been going to since my dad took me as a kid and for the first time saw a display. It was up high i guess i never noticed it before. It looks like it is from the 80’s or late 70’s. Therewere all kind of chisels, scraper , gouges, and more i guess, some stuff was hidden by other stuff. The bits had a round shaft. I am guessing it was like an electric chisel ? Just wondering if anybody ever heard of or owned one, it just looks like it could be useful. The owner wasn,t there but i didn’t see ant tool on display. This is an old store and he has some neat old stuff. He still has some bluegrass tools, a Porter Cable Magnaquench cordless drill and all kinds off odd stuff. If anybody is ever looking for something , let me know and i,ll look for you, any excuse to go there is fine by me.

I was tempted by that Extra-tool back in the 70s, but I never tried it. A power chisel could come in handy.
Do they have any hand planes or specialty planes?

So it was a power chisel then, ok just wanted to know . About the planes , sorry but no . i will look again but i think he only has some new Stanley block planes.
I think if iirc the extra tool was made by skill and functioned like a power drill, but could be put into a chiseling mode and fitted with attachments like you mentioned. Might have even functioned as a hammerdrill too. Gutsy looking little thing.
I have a nice magnaquench PC drill. Batteries just won't hold a charge. However the batttery is put together with screws. Seems easy to rebuild. You are sol if the charger goes though.

My the charger for mine went years ago, but at the time i did get one. Two months later the batteries wouldn't hold a charge for long and it was too late they were discontinued by that time. I wouldn't mind buyingthis one but i am afraid the batteries would be shot, plus he is a little high with the price.
I have been tempted to check into a battery rebuild service. The drill is still good, almost indestructible, but it is just old fashioned. No brake, I am to used to the drill stopping when I let go of the trigger now.Webby
I have one,don't use it much any more,when you rotate a ring in back of the chuck it put into neutral and allowed a scrapper or chisel attachment to be used. I bought for a hammer drill function, the other modes did't work all that well. You could use the chisel bit to remove soft mortar on chimneys to put in new flashing etc. I also have a Black& Decker Scrudrill, the original impact driver, it has a drill function,turn a ring, it goes into neutral and when you apply pressure it goes into impact mode like a drywall gun.
