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.
