An friend of mine used to be the financial controller for a very popular brand of power tools and gardening equipment. He told me that the service life for their less expensive range of electric drills was only one hour!
He pointed out that the average home handyman would actually take a while to use the drill for one hour, but I guess that's the planned obsolescence we get today.
