No we obviously need more cheap plastics that will dry rot in your shed and shitty rubber grips that will turn to sticky goo in five years, as well as lowest bidder designed control circuitry with a dozen corners cut.
I get what you mean, modern power tools feel like Fisher Price toys. They're disposable.
What happened to the giant metal vacuum cleaners that doubled as a blunt-force weapons?
Maybe the garbage brands. Milwaukee, DeWalt, Makita, etc are very well made, and significantly more powerful than they were 5-10 years ago.
Hey, don't diss Fisher Price toys. The old ones from 40+ years ago were solid. So much so that the iconic telephone on wheels and with eyes is still around.
Modern day crap though? Oh I'm with you!
