Cordless tools with infinite battery life! Sweet!
My father had (probably still has) both a brace drill and an "egg beater" drill. I'd all but forgotten them. There are times when using a hand-powered too is really handy - like the time Mike H. helped me tap out a bolt on my VW bus engine. The magnesium crank case was particularly soft and I only had a single-speed corded drill. We just used a ratchet handle but a hand drill would have been better.
