I promised the missus a (melamine) cabinet for the laundry, but to
allow for shelf locations I needed to drill lots of holes. Since it
has been a while since I last used my electric drills I dragged them
out and gave them their day in the sun.

I'd forgotten how much faster and more powerful they are than the
DeWalt 12v, which, although a useful tool, isn't close to being in the
same class.

Reminds me of a conversation I had with my 8 year old last fall when I
pulled out my Porter Cable corded drill. He asked "What's that?" My response
was "It's a drill." His response was "Oh, I've never seen one with a wire on
it before..." Funny how time moves on. ;-)
