- ableal 17y agoI am reminded of these old lines by Neal Stephenson: The Hole Hawg is a drill made by the Milwaukee Tool Company. If you look in a typical hardware store you may find smaller Milwaukee drills but not the Hole Hawg, which is too powerful and too expensive for homeowners. The Hole Hawg does not have the pistol-like design of a cheap homeowner's drill. It is a cube of solid metal with a handle sticking out of one face and a chuck mounted in another. The cube contains a disconcertingly potent electric motor.[...] I have no objections to beautiful design externals, but would prefer it dresses up good engineering instead of hiding shoddy innards. Actually, the other day a nice Mac online backup app showed up here, and my private thought was that the author and Colin could probably profit from a collaboration.
