You'll win that wager. Here's Black & Decker's logo from that era:
It's visible at the top of the drill motor.
That was my thought from the general shape.
Back in 78 when I started as a journeyman carpenter this was the cordless screwdriver that said you were a professional. Unfortunately I lost mine somewhere over the years.
I also remember the day our company owner showed up with 2 Bosch pneumatic nail guns and a pallet of nails. I believe the guns cost around $800 in 1978 dollars. Our rough framing production increased dramatically. I was the low man on the totem pole and was put in charge of keeping the gas compressor operational setting it up and putting everything away at the end of the day. In the humid Wisconsin air I had to drain the water out of the tank daily.

Pretty sure I've got at least two of these in the garage right now, along with other assorted tools most would find useless today.

My dad had a couple. I never saw him use them though.
Afraid I can't say that. I've seen both my father and grandfather use them on more occasions than I can count, as well I've used them myself. In fact, the newest one I have (or had) was purchased when I lived in my first apartment. Very handy for running screws and drilling small holes, particularly before the days of cordless tools.

New to us Hougen mag drill with 7 cutters off of marketplace. Needed a good cleaning and lubrication. The brushes were stuck. Running good now!!
So you put stuff like this out in the universe and Santa finds out….. I believe…..
A great big thank you! You know who you are!
I guess I’m heading down the M18 rabbit hole now. Going to have to get another drawer.
Unintended acquisition.
Extremely low mile 3' Pexto slip roll. It was headed for a dumpster and well... I dont have one so
The only bad part is that I got it on my way out of town and its raining. Best I could do is hose it all down with WD40.

That's quite a score if it's fully operational. Nice!
