Oldest tool ?
What are your oldest tool or tools that you still use on a regular basis ? Mine are a set of Smith brand cutting torches bought in 1969. Close behind is a craftsman air compressor from about 1972. It has needed 3 tank replacements but the compressor and motor are original. So chime in guys .

I have a big chisel, and a slick made in London in the 1880s. I use them for building log cabins. Very good tools.
Since I am building houses that look like they were built in the 19th century, it is good to have tools from the 19th century.

I have a Peter Wright anvil made sometime between 1852 and 1860.

I'll guess my anvil is my oldest 'tool'. No idea how old it actually is but just guessing well over 100 years.
I had a wide variety of Craftsman tools that I'd accumulated since the early 70's. Had is the key word--all destroyed in the 11/2/22 fire that swept away my shop building. No way can those be replaced because of price or current quality issues.
Most of what I'm using now are current production TekTon or box store house brand deemed 'good enough' and affordable.

This axe head is 4 inches long. I found it in a corn field in central Georgia. Probably a thousand years old. I am scared to use it looks like it might break.
