Kress survive because they are quality products.

That alone doesn't do it. Their better end range is better than Ryobi
for example, but not outstanding and not up to the level of the major
manufacturers. There is nothing innovative.


The high tonque drill/drive with the angle attachment is the only
product in the world like that - innovation too.

No it isn't. Festool originated that one some years ago.

Not only does Festool have the angle attachment, but they have an
eccentric chuck as well so that one can drill/drive close to an edge
(e.g. inside a cupboard) in a straight line. The two chucks can
even be used together.

These work with the Fastfix system on their entire product range and
come as standard in most of their drill/driver packages.
