While in the shop tonight, working on a re-hab for a backsaw, found another that MIGHT get a newer handle. A "Powrkraft"? 222238 at least with this one, I won't have to go out and steal another saw's sawnuts.:eek:

I think Powerkraft was a Montgomery Wards trade name,or some such catalog. It's been a long time since that name has come up.

It was a Montgomery Wards line. I have one down in the accumulation somewhere.

Worth fixing up? Handle is a bit rough. Seems to be a crosscut type.
At one time, I had an old Powrkraft drill press, 5 speeds, just couldn't keep a motor running on it. Also had an all metal"finishing sander" from them. Not sure where it vibrated off to.

I have a toolbox in the shop that’s full of Powrkraft mechanics tools. I bought them when I was a teenager. Like Sears, they had a lifetime warranty and were decent tools. Of course the warranty isn’t worth much now..

At least sharpen it, to find out.
If the plate is straight, and it still has intact teeth...

I could be wrong, but I don't think the PowerKraft line was the highest of quality. I have have one of their Master jack planes that belonged to my grandfather. It's equivalent to the handyman series.

I think it depends on when it was made/sold.
I have a Stanley 45 that was branded and sold through Monkey Wards as we used to call it.
