This makes a lot of sense if it was early on and electric motors were expensive and special. You have your one motor and it can do a bunch of things by itself, justifying the expense of one of those newfangled electric motors
I mean to be fair electric motors are still expensive and special, and having one attached to multiple functions would still save a hell of a lot of money

But power tool makers mostly moved on, from selling you a drill+ attachments to selling you 15 specialized ones.
Every blacksmith heart just dropped . That sir is a BLOWER . You just sucked a bunch of crap directly into the motor with no filter .

No, it was sold as a vacuum. Bissel is and always has been a sweeper/vacuum company. They never made a blacksmith blower. The impeller is metal and can withstand a lot of abuse. This was designed as a home vacuum anyway and would be used in a shop cleaning up hard materials.
@@WanderingMiqoliterally one simple Google search will tell you that is a suction device, not a blower. you can literally find the paper that was used to advertise it. he quite literally was the more knowledgeable person speaking, even after you and kyle opened your idiotic mouths.
@WanderingMiqo It sounds like they researched this thing specifically, what's your deal? Edit: To anyone willing to go along with these jerks because they sound right to you, just go check the description of the full restoration video to get a link to the patent, which specifies it is a vacuum cleaner to be produced by F. Bissel of Toledo Ohio! Wow!!
We had a KIRBY vacuum cleaner in 1966 to lasted into 1980’s with multiple attachments as well- drills, sharpens knives, polishes, buffs, etc, and vacuums! Made in America. Those were the days …
Because this was a multitool that took quantity over quality yeah it can do a lot of stuff but not better than individual tool made specific for one job, this kind of invention tried to be the best multitool so that you have a reason to buy it, then when you realize that its not any better than what you currently use you get tired of it.
Man it bugs me when people say this. Machines are an order of magnitude more reliable now than they were then. Adjusted for inflation they’re even often cheaper. Sure there’s a bunch of cheaply made trash…but that’s because a lot of people don’t want to pay 2x or 3x for higher quality.
I can not believe the amount of people in this comment section that are arguing this is not a vacuum... It took me a minute or so to do the slightest bit of research to find the original advertisement for this *VACUUM!!!!!!!!* Maybe y'all should give it a try before asserting your "dominance" so aggressively 😂
I wonder how long it lasted in the vacuum function as there's no filter. And I'm jealous where do you find these things a 1913 motor nice job restoring it regardless
👍 Made in 1913 but, yet still more versatile and practical than many common household tools and equipment today. You could probably run an old Jewelers lathe with that.
Honestly you could probably run most smaller lathes. Like obviously you couldn't go making plywood, or cranking out bowls by the dozen, but I'm sure you could easily use it on a small metal lathe to make small custom parts around the shop, like screws and whatnot.
@@connorhart7597 yes sir, my dad has a Jewelers lay that is ran by a belt with a very similar pulley system. I like the idea of having one like that but integrated with a new brushless motor.
And then corporations figured out “hey wait a minute! Why sell 1 tool with 3 functions when we could sell 3 tools with 1 function each? We could even sell those 3 each for the same price as the old one!”
run a hose extension on the bag end, have it sat somewhere near a multi pulley, put it on sliders so it can reach each pulley, run vacuum hose to an outside bag system or to a bin with an exhaust filter
I like how in the past things were simpler, more robust and were meant to do a lot of things for the same price. Today this thing would break after 6 months and you would need it to keep it updated to barely turning it on...
Reminds me of the thing sitting in the corner of Piderman's house that nobody knew anything about. Big Internet points to you if you also have neurons from here to there, talk about distant niches
The only thing I agree with is that they put it on wheels. 90% of consumer products should have wheels by default, while only 12% of the do. I threw those numbers off the top of my head but it is 100% accurate.
Kirby vacuums in the fifties had a grinder kit. This kind of thing wasn't that unusual. You bought a big motor, and people found other uses for it. The good ideas became official accessories.
Having the bag ontop like that doesn't make sense. I believe you either have it wired backwards or are missing a part because whatever is in that bad will just fall right back into the fan component the instant you turn it off and the bag will dump everything else on the ground when you take it off.
It’s not that far off from how there are now a billion cheap “adapters” to turn your drill into a table saw, rivet gun, or cheese grater. Except none of those adapters will work 100 years later, if they even last 6 months.
The pulley was not used to power other things it was how it was powered man we can get free clean energy with perpetual motion alone let alone using Nikola Tesla induction engine and batteries
Literally just an electric motor with a bunch of random features. It was probably more like buying a nice car with tons of features. I will give it credit though, the vibration is minimal for something that old on wheels.
I love how everything in this video is so wrong. I think people in 100 years are going to fix up an iPad and say “This is their primary computing device that they got all their work done on” when really it’s a couch computer or thing to make toddler shut up.
I googled 'F Bissell Ohio' and which will actually bring up images from Hand Tool Rescue (the device here), click on the very first image and then the advertisement should be on the next row down, it's an eBay link.

it meant..you had one motor.. and variety of attachments..
pully and vacuum is "normal" a but the pully is a weird choice..
Can I pull my mother in law with that motor ?

Great find, beautiful restoration … nicely done Sir >,
I would love to have one!❤
You could vacuum up the shavings from your knife.
While pumping water.
What a machine.
In the early 1900s it was common for products to be multifunctional because of limited space and cost
Holy shit that can power a sewing machine, washing machine, whole lotta machines, that’s neat!
"You'll never guess what this is..."
Yes I will.
It is awesome. I'm guessing that it's awesome.
There’s an unfortunate reason they don’t make stuff like this anymore

Bag is the filter
God,I love old tools,be it electric or manual.👌🏻
That looks like a workshop's best friend.
How about We tell him how a good Job He did restoring this amazing Blower-Grinder drive motor, Great Job it looks better than NEW 🇺🇸👍
👍 Made in 1913 but, yet still more versatile and practical than many common household tools and equipment today. You could probably run an old Jewelers lathe with that.
I don’t know how you look at this contraption and think anything remotely close to practical lol
I think a lot his what is convenient, this motor is loud and not meant for home use.
@@apo_chromaticyou watch anime? If so that invalidates any opinion you may have

That is so cool and it would power the old style washing machine
That pulley could easily have attached to the drive on a gas powered washed machine so it can be used without the has engine.
That thing is super cool I want one😮
It’s a bit later, but my Kirby 510 from 1950. Also does all of those plus doubles as a jigsaw and a drill.
run a hose extension on the bag end, have it sat somewhere near a multi pulley, put it on sliders so it can reach each pulley, run vacuum hose to an outside bag system or to a bin with an exhaust filter
That's so sweet 😮
Back in the time it was all about convenience. Now is all about how many features you can buy for your Dyson vacuum before you run out of money.
I like how in the past things were simpler, more robust and were meant to do a lot of things for the same price.
Today this thing would break after 6 months and you would need it to keep it updated to barely turning it on...
I legit thought it was gonna pass the butter or something.

The first two seconds of this video had me convinced that it was 3 inches tall
And it is on wheels!
It was probably an air compressor back in the day too 😂man that’s cool
The only thing I agree with is that they put it on wheels. 90% of consumer products should have wheels by default, while only 12% of the do. I threw those numbers off the top of my head but it is 100% accurate.
Remind me of a homemakers version of a Shopsmith!
Kirby made the best ones.
Beautiful doggo
Aah this solves my problems i always want to sharpe my knife when i finish vacuum but i don't wanna buy two machines
Very similar to a kirby with all the attachments
Kirby vacuums in the fifties had a grinder kit. This kind of thing wasn't that unusual. You bought a big motor, and people found other uses for it. The good ideas became official accessories.

Genius : D
oh god you scratched the heck out of that knife

We have lost something as a society that's fucking incredible we should have more stuff like this but everyttis a plastic box nowadays
Gotta power the sewing machine somehow.
Mans sharpening a serrated knife
Its a cute little sucker they should call it "the blue pig"
That's like an electric tractor
Not sure what they planned on vacuming, but sure as hell ain't dust😂😂😂
so a shopvac that theybpit a grinding wheel on. nice idea
i see the doohickey is working at maximum efficiency
Back when things were built to be useful instead of profitable
Pretty cool
So in 1913 they made a electric turbo for a forge and didn’t think hmmm maybe this could do something for a car lmao
It’s not that far off from how there are now a billion cheap “adapters” to turn your drill into a table saw, rivet gun, or cheese grater.

Once you’re done sharpening your knife, your room is now ready to be wrapped in plastic for your next target 😂
You should vacuum after the knife... Now there's metal shavings

Holy Toledo!!!!!
Him: You'll never guess what this is.
Me: A mechanical multipurpose dog? 🤔
So it's just an electric motor covered with anything they could think to slap on it.
Can’t find any info about that company online. Probably would need to dig through old records at a library.

Wait, Bissell? Like Bissell the vacuum company? Like Bissell the only reason you grab the box is to look at the dog and read its story?

We call that a thingymajig.
And it's also good at getting you new subs
but the ability to get $2000 was like the ability to get $500 now... yet the amount of purchase is still 2000
