In a moment of weakness, I broke down and bought a tool from Harbor Freight and it even had more than one moving part. 
I needed a 1/2" drill motor to bore the 2 1/2" tenon holes in the log bed that I'm making and couldn't justify the $150 price tag on one at the Depot, so I picked up a $39.99 special at Harbor Freight. The good news is that:
1) It didn't burst into flames the first time I used it.
2) It actually ran the first time I used it and...
3) It looks like it might actually be a pretty useful tool.
Seriously, considering a few of the user reviews that I read, I would have been happy with just number one.
