I had one of those black and decker drills from the 1950's around my house for years. All aluminum casing, heavy, durable, never once had a problem with it. Made 100% in the USA. Unfortunately it had one fatal flaw; if you used it in the summer when your hands got really sweaty and you pushed on the top of it for leverage while drilling, you would inevitably get the %&#$ shocked out of you. This is probably one of the reasons they A) ground things and B) make them out of plastic now.
Things like a nice set of drill bits are things I pay for the quality because I know I'm going to use them forever. Unfortunately, in that respect, I could always go out and buy a set of Bosch drill bits and drill, and have quality that couldn't be exceeded here in the US most likely. I mean, it's made in Germany, you know the Germans always make good stuff.
