I know what you mean - Have a dewalt drill, mostly because of the yellow color, and the fact that it seemed to be fairly decent for the price. It's not a mikita though, although I doubt I use the dewalt to near it's potential.
as far as the computer transferal of information - I don't know how to pass on the accumulated store of knowledge that's in my head, to my fellow it-workers, much less friends ro relatives. I mean I remember when the trs-80 was new,linux.9 etc, etc. We have interns here who never used anything but windows 95 before starting here. sometimes I don't even know the start when trying to answer "WHY is there twisted pair ethernet and 10base2" sometimes the answer is "no good reason - now, but back in the day." I mean it's weird when you run into someone who was born after star wars came out:-)and I was born in the 70's!
At first I thought he was going and on about this drill, as being some sort of uber drill and a symbol for industrial strength Os'es and such.
However, I was at home depot, and realized that you can get that drill there, for $250, there are other drills that are more expensive, and even better. Michigan tools had a little stand there that talked about their different drills, apparently this one was designed in the 1960's as part of the "prefab" boom. They have newer drills, and less specialized ones. The "hole hawg" was kinda neat, but there were just as many other drills that seemed to be as good or perhaps better out there.

there was this chevy chase movie in the 80's about an unmanned fighter like this one, as I recall the movie was pretty funny.
