How does anyone hold onto something like this for that long, never using it?
In the world of collectibles this would be a good and profitable thing, in the power tool world, not so much.How does anyone hold onto something like this for that long, never using it?
It could also be one of those things where the person bought the tool but never got around to using it. Maybe he thought the Domino was intimidating to use and kept putting it off in favor of the techniques he was comfortable with. And as we all know now: suddenly, 15 years have passed in a flash!How does anyone hold onto something like this for that long, never using it?
Purchased this Mag drill in 2007 to use on an outdoor fence project...it's yet to bore or drill a hole.How does anyone hold onto something like this for that long, never using it?
Oh, I get it with actual collectibles, but power tools just don't seem to fit that? Maybe (and that's a big maybe) with some limited-edition product, but not everyday stuff.In the world of collectibles this would be a good and profitable thing, in the power tool world, not so much.
My FIL always planned to take up a bit of woodworking when he retired, unfortunately he died shortly before retiring so my MIL ended up with a shed full of mostly new tools that I organised the selling of for her.
It happens for a multitude of reasons I'm guessing.
That's more than a little surprising. I have always had the mentality of "When you are a hammer, everything looks like a nail." A mag-drill is not really a typical DIY tool. A lot of guys would soldier-on through, if they had a situation, where it would be beneficial. However, I would think that someone who has one, would use it?

Reminds me of my friends father when we were young. At some point in his life, he worked as a rigger and who knows what else, but this dad had TOOLS. And he was a hardened man. Opened a dry cleaner and rigged the machinery into the building and taking out the plate glass windows to do it. Needed to connect the building to the pole (I'm guessing now 40 years later) for the third phase - puts on a rubber suit, climbs the pole and makes it happen.A mag-drill is not really a typical DIY tool.
