What a Steal: Jacobs Hand-Tite Keyless Drill Chuck, Sold!

 

SOLD!! $13.00

Ever wonder if those crusty buckets of tools at estate sales are actually worth the dig? I recently stumbled upon a treasure trove at a local sale where I snagged a whole bucket of hand tools for one flat price. After crunching the numbers, this Jacobs 500 series Hand-Tite Keyless 1/2” Drill Chuck cost me roughly $1. Talk about a perfect 10 deal! It was likely sitting in a dusty toolbox for decades, but after a quick wipe-down and a light coating of oil, it looked fantastic.

The quality of these older Jacobs drill chucks is unmatched; this one turned as smooth as butter. It’s a heavy-duty piece of hardware that puts modern plastic versions to shame. I listed it on eBay and it sold for $13, giving me a nice little profit on a tiny investment. If you’re looking for more Tools or Vintage finds like this, I’m constantly updating my inventory.
