That router, in its dozens of variants, was considered quite respectable in its heyday, holding its own with Porter-Cable's designs.  It's a shame Black and Decker (known in some circles as Bleak and Darker or Blackened Drecker) made the decision to chase the consumer market and leave behind its professional-grade tools.

Nice little time capsule example.
