cross-posted: what kind of hub is this?



Laced to a 26" Sun CR-18 (not that that helps).
This came on a used 1993 B-stone that I bought--
now the hub feels kinda gritty. I'm thinking
of keeping the rim (box rim, eyeleted, decent)
and lacing it to a new hub.

So what kind of hub is this--or rather, how good is it?
Is it worth repairing-i.e. throwing new bearings
in it? What's a good replacement hub
for mostly city and road riding, but with off road potential?

edit: I know it says "Power Tools" I googled power tools hub, etc.

The skewers are going to the bike kitchen for whomever needs them along with the hub.
Thanks for confirming what I suspected.
