Drill reviews are just... different?

[JakobProgsch]

After reading and watching reviews over the last 2 years or so for power tools I have come to the conclusion that drills are just... special in how they are reviewed

Circular-/Tracksaws: Quality of cut, ease of cut placement with tracks, accessories, safety, dust extraction
Jigsaws: Quality of cut, holding angles on curved cuts, visibility of cut, accessories
Joinery machines: precision of joints, versatility, speed of achieving joints
Routers: smoothness of operation, precision of adjustments, accessories, dust extraction
Sanders: smoothness of operation, how tiring they are to use over longer times, quality of finish, dust extraction
Drills: POWWWWWAAAAAAH!!!

Yes, those drill reviews are often done with tunnel vision.
