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.

And I did not need to read about sites full of Print, cut and fold paper models.
We will not edit your comments. However, we may delete your comments, or cause them to be hidden behind another link, if we feel they detract from the conversation. Commercial plugs are fine, if they are relevant to the conversation, and if you don't try to pretend to be a consumer. Annoying endorsements will be deleted if you're lucky, if you're not a whole bunch of people smarter and more articulate than you will ridicule you, and we will leave such ridicule in place.
