A couple of years ago, I bought a cheap Harbor Freight 1/2" heavy duty low speed drill on sale. It has a torque tube that screws into the side so it doesn't break your wrist if you hit rebar when drilling concrete. I'd never buy a tool like that to use as a tool. I bought it to gut the motor and gearing for a crazy project of mine. I took it apart, and was shocked to see what was behind the crude ugly yellow injection molded plastic housing. That thing was built like a tank. Most drills today, from name brands, have bushings. The Chinese drill had oversized bearings. Everything about it looked beefy and overbuilt. On the inside, it looked like a high end American power tool from the 1950s. They don't build them like that anymore... other than maybe Chicago Electric, in China.
