Yep,  my old Mall and my Thor  half inch drills were hopelessly outdated 
thirty years ago, but fortuneately I am too and all I expect them to do 
is drill great big deep holes with old fashined augers, so they are 
unaware of just how useless they are.    Same goes for my massive worm 
gear skil saw - ancient.  It is a bit heavy carrying up a roof, but if 
it is on the ground it is like a hand held table saw. I once sawed an 
aluminm saw horse in half with it by accident.  Motor didn't change 
pitch as is went through the two by and bit into the saw horse.
