yes, I have some metal bodied US made power tools, a "Thor" and a
"Van Dorn" 1/2 drills amongst them. Very heavy duty, but I did rewire
them for 3 prong, and made sure chassis was grounded.

amazing that they came with 2 prongs

I'm with you Alistair; I have an old Rockwell drill that is bulletproof,
(literally, the case is made of alum. or steel, not plastic) and when
you
pick it up it just feels right in your hand. Like a set of old
Canadian made
Gray ratchets and sockets. Super quality from the day of pre-
computerized
milling machines I think.
