A lot of old tools are of a far superior craftsmanship. Unfortunately, most of the tool innovations have just been ways to make them cheaper, but they sacrifice longevity, and repairability. New drills and little things like that are definitely nice to have, but I’d usually prefer to work with saws and sanders made back when people understood that tools should be fixed rather than replaced.

It's not that new tools sacrifice longevity and repairability;. They're literally engineered to break in economically unfeasible to repair ways after x hours of use.

It's called planned obsolescence.

I used to work in project and supply chain management for both a fine furniture manufacturer in yucca valley (mueller turner)
And an industrial signage manufacturer in riverside (fusion sign and design)

Neither one of those operations used contemporary tools aside from pivoting compound miter saws, and they make much nicer and more commercially marketable shit than thullian can make on his overpriced short lived hardware.
