Article on NY Post:  We use a 98-year-old vacuum cleaner — it’s also a food processor, veggie peeler, drill and more


[quotes from various variations of this article ]
An elderly couple has used the same century-old appliance to drill, vacuum, mince meat, process food, peel vegetables and grind coffee since their wedding day in 1976 — and it has yet to give out.

“It’s pretty amazing that you can use it as a mincer, liquidizer, a food mixer, a juicer, a slicer and even polish the floors with it,” he said.

“You can also turn it into a vacuum cleaner. There’s a tool kit, there’s a circular saw and a drill with a grinder.

My guess is it's basically a rotating thing that can power all kinds of heads.
I want one :D
My kind of tool!!

A miniature PTO without the tractor. I dig it.

Reminds me of Inspector Gadget in a way.
