The only measure that has any value is the HP and torque at the output

I doubt you will ever see that information given for a power tool. I
suspect that that number would shock the american buying public, who
think that they own 6 HP vacuum cleaners and such. I doubt that output
HP on one of sears' 6 HP specials would exceed 1/4 HP or so....
