"MADE IN USSR" is the most ironic marking on that unit. Lovely.

Communism while horrific in the shot term was clearly less deadly to Russia than whatever you want to call what’s happened to America.

23:57 hearing the tetris theme I thought upon complete assembly the drill would blink a few times and disappear

Now make something with the bamboo.

You think you're taking codeine but it is actually fentanyl. Only a junkie opens a box with a broken piece of glass and I know from experience codeine just isn't that potent. I learned the Cyrillic alphabet (and some basic Russian) just to visit for a week. C'mon America, you're making us look bad. Yeah, like NASA was gonna use SAE units, lol. They are nothing but a headache and a good way to make sure you measure something wrong and then the rocket blows up. People complain about plastic but that Craftsman drill is die cast and modern plastic composites are stronger. 21:21 All the planetary gears ended up in crappy automatic transmissions, lol. Another point of note is that the Craftsman drill you show is a heavy duty, professional grade one and isn't even in the same class of tool as your Soviet one. The Soviets only beat us into space because they valued human life less. And that is still apparent today on Ukrainian battlefields. I mean it makes sense - Putin is just trying to put the Soviet Union back together so he can be included in the history books right alongside Lenin and Stalin. Dubious honor if you ask me.

Been bitten by 230/240 before. Granted, It was just my hand and fingers. Did not die. Didnt even hurt that much, it just scares the crap out of you when your hand feels like its opening and clamping at the same time while youre having no part in it doing so.

I had this in recommended for whetever reason- *comminusm vs capitalism? I just wanted to say none of them exists anymore FEUDALI$$$M won! flawless victory!* _and ppl didn't even noticed_ 🤑🤑🤑🤑

"vaguely round piece of steel"? In Russia they call this "precision ground", it's the reason their airplanes crash faster than western planes, also their trucks, tanks, and missiles.

I bought a Soviet submarine clock one time. Very functional and cool looking. Wouldn't run for more than an hour or so. Didn't (and still don't) know enough about mechanical movements to do anything about it.

Did you replace the spool valve that is leaking onto the alternator ?

Can you stop calling soviet stuff russian? Its really offensive to countries post soviet occupation.

Liked the video. Liked the humour. Subscribed.

russia is motherland germany is fatherland

wait.... the drill has engraving "made in USSR" ... in English...from Russia... in Lithuania?

It's weird how interesting is to look at history through the lens of tech/products....

I assure you that, for the most part, Eastern Europe has embraced Capitalism with a fervour that'd leave you gasping.

Love your box opener.

"I have more tachometers than testicles"

Anything is a fuse is you're brave enough

You earned a new subscriber. I'm a Russian immigrant to America, and I appreciate how you recognized America used propaganda and it's not like the USSR was as bad as America wanted to show it. So commonly people will grab the simplest of things and say to me "Oh yeah, bet you didn't have these back in Russia" or make jokes and insults that are just entirely false, so I like that you didn't just come at it with a "American is automatically better because it's American" attitude. I appreciate you being fair and honest with both tools and also I love your humor. :)))))

I wish I could tell Stalin that how you bought a Soviet tool for US dollars and had it shipped to the US just to make fun of it.

The Communist regime were the creators of forever tool's for working around.. ugly.. heavy.. rusty.. but indestructible by exemplo the kalisnikov rifles weapons.. until today still ON and nobody else can do anything else about it..🎉😂

you are a braver man than me not grounding the body of that thing

Russian tool is far superior

Speaking of tools.....try using a knife instead of a broken bottle to open the package.

The engineering is superior, must have been made by the same engineers as the Lada.

I can more or less read any European language, even if I don't understand what I'm reading as the letters all make sense. The exceptions being Maltese and Hungarian, as I don't know what your funny additions mean, nor Greek & Russian.

wait wtf you have a knight rider?!

dood, dewalt gyro (with the clutch) it is THE best electric screwdriver.

Queen singing "Who want to live forever?" Soviet drill: Yes

I have a vintage Skil drill that I found from the salvation army

Not us getting absolutely ecstatic when Lithuania is mentioned

Beautiful build and your disassembly was very genuine. US made refrigerators last only a fraction of the time as that beautifully made Soviet drill.

Interesting that it doesn't have "Made in" stamped in Cyrillic. Don't forget that the "bootin" started in 2014. Also, universality had a different convention called "ghost".

turn it into a race mower IMO!

It is interesting how the plug provided was not what was used on double insulated devices in Europe. That is for single insulated and for safety reasons it does not fit grounded sockets. If the device really is double insulated then of course that is not an issue. Maybe grounded sockets were so rare in the Soviet Union that it was not an issue

Commies did it right

JUST ADD WD40

You did need millimeters to go to the moon. You just had to convert them to imperial so the simpler folk, the astronauts, could understand.

Te majority of the difference of speed is due to the difference in cycles. Wit 60 cycles the speed is faster than if you had 50 cycles.

Missed the opportunity to add ground on the drill body when changing cable

The metric system is used on BOTH sides of "The Wall". The only ones refusing any change for decades are the USAians...

I like it when a youtuber opens his video by admitting to being addicted to opiates.

Wait? Is this the offspring of AvE? 😂

it seems like a copy of an AEG drill...and, are you sure its 180angle and not 120,like in the regular three phase?

that advert at the beginning in the package was clearly german wtf

Sorry to say that: the russioan tool looks more modern than the amercan, which seems like a pre WWII make 😂

For anyone wondering about Judith (the woman from what I presume is a printing test that was used as packing material): the text is German, and I presume she is German herself as well as the text mentions ARD, a German TV broadcaster. The text describes the book she wrote, containing 30 knitting projects (hats and scarves, among others) and an emphasis on how soft and cuddly they are. Very much not the point of the video, but just in case someone's interested.

giving you a like because I actually LOL'd when the switch went flying..

the grease iside of the gearbox is named "солидол" (solidol) which was a thickened solidified oils, mostly made of synthetic oils and soaps, there were many types of it in USSR for different applications. Some of them where made of animal fat and used even as a medicine for skin deseases.
