I don’t care how old or new a tool is as long as it performs the tasks I put it to. That said, old tools make you wonder where they’ve been and what they’ve done. Not to mention the satisfaction of having tools handed down from loved one who are no longer with us. I also have a mix of hand and power tools and I enjoy them all, but working with hand tools is my favorite as long as the work is not too taxing. It’s good to be flexible at my age.
