We still have my Father's woodworking tools from the 40s and 50s.
My father still has my grandfather’s Porter Cable belt sander. I don’t know how old it is but my grandfather was born in 1895. That thing may be 100 years old. It’s also as heavy as a concrete block.
I’ve got Craftsman screwdrivers, wrenches, sockets, hammers that I’ve had for close to 40 years and no reason to believe they will ever need to be replaced. I used to buy Craftsman power tools but prefer Milwaukee now.

Probably the best known P-C vintage sander is the model 500 4x27. They were built in the 40s and 50s and weighed close to 30 pounds. Sometimes called the locomotive sander for obvious reasons. They made several smaller ones but this is the biggest and most popular among collectors.
