*EDIT* Interesting 'fact':
Revered b3tan Professor Kenny Martin once told us that Black & Decker drills have a built-in 'design life' of one hour. ie, it'll drill for an hour before dying.
For most users, this won't be a problem. But it's a pain in the arse if you're drilling all day every day. So pros use De Walt drills.
He once worked in a shop that sold such stuff, he said.

Edit: Damn you B&D. You're so entry level.
Edit2: Drill pictured is a Porter Cable 9977. Not a clue if this is suitable for professional users, or Jedis.

That's not the actual drill that Obi Wan uses. I used photograph manipulation software to superimpose the drill into his hand. Dunno if you can tell?

This must mean the original film was actually true.
Oh well. At least it all happened a long time ago in a galaxy far away.
Today's drills would probably baffle even the Sith. One would hope.

Anecdote about the first prototype Amstrad combined record/radio/tape/CD players:
Alan Sugar listened to a record, and then the same album on CD. Couldn't hear any difference. So he directed his R&D doods to make the record player sound worse.
