Period
Unknown
Canada
Used in Montreal and Ottawa by a Canadian family. According to the donor, the saw may not have been used very much.
Function
Used, when attached to an electric hand drill, for cutting wood across the grain or ripping (with the grain).
Technical
Manual saw accessory which when added to an electric drill, converts the drill into a power saw. This company seems to offer a variety of these attachable accessories but also made full-size electric tools. It reflects well a product made to economize on tools purchase for household uses in the 1950s-1960s. PET Tools made products for Sears and Roebuck in the 1950s, and they also have a variety of magazine advertisements in Popular Mechanics magazine in the late 1940s and early 1950s.
