    hey, at least they LET you wear a blindfold. They made us non-starred commenters serve drinks to OMG Ponies all night, while he verbally abused us and molested a plastic dog. I could have used that blindfold--I haven't been able to sleep for days.

    Hitachi drills are great. I've got the 14.4v regular drill and love it for use around the house. Great design and is still very "tight" after a lot of use. Rated pretty well on CR as well.

    @ri59:
    I prefer Bosch, but I really preferred them back in the day when they hadn't knuckled under to the "weekend carpenter" crowd, and they still made cordless screw-guns with a more sensible pistol grip instead of those "only suitable for posing with it" T-grips that people who don't know how to use the things prefer.

    That whole song and dance of "I dont know what I will use it for, but I want it anyway" is the reason we ladies have so many pairs of shoes. So what if we have nothing CURRENTLY to wear them with; we will eventually and hot shoes (like hot power tools) even look hot sitting on the shelf waiting for the opportunity to use them. (Like those HOT purple shoes I have on the shelf.)

    @nat lyon: Some places/workplaces have filters that block out "obscene" URL's. It so MORE people can view it, not less. Some even block out Facebook. If only they could apply that tech at a certain website's HQ....

    Cinder blocks aren't all that tough. You can knock one apart with a hammer.


    Cool drill, though.

    @FredicvsMaximvs salutes Spacebat:
    Cinder blocks also continue to get stronger as they age, and boring a clean hole (without shattering the whole thing or snapping the bit) is something of a challenge.


    When I worked for the maintenance department during summers at college, I got the privelege of being the first to use their brand-new Hilti masonry hammer-drill (looks not unlike the one above). I was using it on a building that was at least 30 years old, and it cut through the cinder blocks and cement like a hot knife through butter. For a couple holes, there's not any noticable discomfort, though I suspect that if you were using it all day long this version would be much preferred.
