I dunno why I do it Rex. I have addictions of a mechanical sort, help me!

Below you may see a drill quartet. On the left is Big Bertha the Giganto Black and Decker- 3/4 capacity 3/4 hp motor.
I've never found a practical use for it. It set me back a whopping $7.50 at Alco many years ago. When I got it
it had no chuck key and a 3/8" drill snapped off in the chuck. I remember calling B&D to buy a new key and the
woman I spoke with quoted me $20. When I told her what I'd paid for it she was indignant; "That's a $___.00
drill!" I went direct to Jacobs and bought 2 keys for $15.

To the right is the newly acquired Thor, on the far right a 3/8" Thor of even earlier vintage and above the middle Thor is my trusty little 1/4" mutt drill that my dad
gave to me when I was a wee lad.

All if these guys run great. The large B&D drips with torque as do both Thor drills. There's a myth I read about Thor drills breaking wrists with their torque; maybe no myth
I treat them all with respect...
