Default Who invented what?

OK, so we all 'know' who invented the vacuum cleaner - Hoover. Except
that he didn't - he bought the idea from Spangler. But Hoover brought
the vacuum cleaner to the world as a commercial product.

AFAIK Bosch invented the jigsaw, Skil invented the circular saw, Kango
invented the demolition hammer.

But is that right? And who 'invented' the router, the SDS drill, the
cordless drill driver, the angle grinder?


I give my vote to Issac Newton for inventing gravity when an apple fell
on his head
