Source?
AEDs on average are probably never used, but still important to buy.
I think drills are like that: if you need it, it's worth it. If you need it and don't have one, you'll have wish you bought one.
Though developing a good relationship with someone who has a drill that would let you borrow it, might be a better option than buying one, for many people.
- gus_massa 5y agoI agree. Let me guess: 3 seconds per hole 10 holes per year 20 year until it breaks 3*10*20 = 600 seconds = 10 minutes. When I was young, my father had a manuar drill. It's totally worth buying a power drill. I got one as a wedding gift, and it's still working. (My only concern is that it has a cord, not a battery.)
- moistly 5y agoCord >> Battery, because 20yrs from now you’ll still be able to plug it in. Don’t get me wrong, cordless tools are awesome, but ultimately the batteries will become unavailable.
- wrycoder 5y agoYup, I have a 50 year old corded Sears 1/4" drive. Still works great. I've got way more than 13 min out of it, but these days I use my handy and flexible Makita and Bosch battery-powered units.
- gus_massa 5y agoI agree. [Written from my 5-10 years old notebook with a dying battery that can be used unplugged for half an hour.]
