Let’s compare it to my low end Black & Decker drill that I bought about 20 years ago. My 20 year old drill is nothing special. But it’s got 3.0 amps of power compared to this old drill’s 1.3 amps. It runs slower too at 1200 RPM, but that’s faster than you are ever going to need.

And look at how much bigger the grip is on the “new” drill. Did people have tiny hands 65 years ago?

And while I always though my 3/8 inch drill had a small chuck, it looks enormous by comparison.

Thankfully, they don’t make them like they used to.
