We had a work party last night. One of the traditions for this party is a give-away of various items, people get 5 tickets and can toss them into a basket for the items that interest them. Each year there are usually a few tools from some Big Box BORG, most of them things like B&D laser levels, they had a no-name Dremel clone this year, and a few other similar items.
One of the things they had this year was a 19.4 V Kawasaki drill. Prior to last night, I'd never seen any mention of Kawasaki as a tool vendor, somewhat surprising given the broadly dispersed audience that constitutes rec.ww and also given the number of woodworking magazine to which I subscribe. I'll admit to not looking at every ad in all the magazines (I don't even get to read all of every magazine anymore). Has anyone here had, tried, viewed, or otherwise fondled a Kawasaki drill, or other tool for that matter? Is my assessment that it was probably a cheap tool correct, or did I miss an opportunity to own a quality tool? [Actually, I did win a remote-controlled flying disk (kind of a gyro-copter thing --- that will be a great Christmas gift for my son)]
