New Tool Semi-Gloat

[Bob Winkler]

I got tired of using my wimpy drills to run the rough wiring for the addition I'm building my daughter. Added this and a couple of self-feed drill bits to my arsenal. What a difference using the right tool for the job makes.

Yup! That is a several generation acquisition. While I don't make my living with it, my 1977 Sawz-All is still running strong.

Bob, I got the 12 volt Dewalt RA drill and I just don't know what I would do without it. I'm working on a table now that would have meant hand driving 20 screws into oak.

Bob,

Nice neener!

I have an old B&D right angle drill that I got from a contractor - don't remember if I paid $25 or $50 for this drill. It's seen a lot of use and abuse. It drilled a lot of holes for me when I was wiring our addition.

This is definitely the sort of tool that you don't use that often but, when you need it, there's just no substitute for that slow, powerful ability to crank a self-feeding bit through framing members.

Nice gloat! That tool will save a lot of time, frustration and possible busted knuckles!

What is amazing to me is that in 1972 when I was in high school, I used the same tool to help my uncle Emil, the plumber, bore holes for his pipes. He kept it next to his sawzall, which also hasn't changed basic design since then.

I guess a well designed, rugged tool never goes out of style and will stand the test of time. I'll probably hand down my sawzall and new RAD to my grandchildren (if I ever get any).

hi Bob, That drill probably paid for itself the first time you used it. I wish I had one when I built my daughters bedroom/bathroom addition.
take care,
John
