- So what IS the story with DeWalt vs B&D professional. I have the B&D
- heavy duty right angle 1/2" drill, with the 2-speed gearbox (which seems
- a very good tool) and it looks identical to the DeWalt equivalent, right
- down to the details of the gear shift mechanism. Is B&D now completely
- out of the good tool business (pardon me, my snobbery is showing)?
