Vintage 1920's Trouble Light [Restoration]

This old tool restoration is of a vintage Reelite trouble light retractable cord reel. These where manufactured in the 1920s and some came with just a socket and some came with a trouble light. I converted mine to the trouble light style for my own use. The spring mechanism was functioning perfectly so I didn't take the chance of opening it up and having the spring go "twang" and create a whole lot of extra work. This was a fairly easy restoration of a very useful item. #oldtool #troublelight #toolrestoration #reelite
