Default Re: Show us your drills!

I am surprised that Desoutter were described as 'old' in the 70s as at that time someone I worked for was envious of the drill I carried in my toolbox (see my earlier post #11) and thought he would outdo me by buying a brand new Desoutter drill. He never admitted how disappointed he was as although the Desoutter was well engineered it was nowhere near powerful, ergonomic, or just plain usable as the my Arcoy was. The main thing I remember about it was that I thought one would need a deformed hand to operate the trigger!
