12V drill

Kejtar · Jun 24, 2004

Just came across this and started to wonder how many V are my bad drills in the workshop. Anyways this looks like a really nice setup.

Neat idea.

Would probably work just as well for a 14.4 volt drill, since automobile systems actually run at close to 14 volts. Even at 12 volts it'll just drill a bit less quickly.

modifying a cordless drill that has 10,001 uses at home so that can be used for a half-dozen things on trail makes soooooooooo much sense.

keep up the good work.

Yeah it does if you got an el cheapo that has a dead battery and a new battery costs more then a new drill. It's called recycling :skull1:

I just got in inverter instead..never had to drill with it though, but it's a champ and charging up batteries for my toys.

I did something similar to that. I had a 14.4V battery that wouldn't hold a charge. I removed all the guts from it and soldered a 15' pair of 8 ga leads connected to small jumper cable style alligator clips. This gives me the best of both worlds.

I've bought a couple of those drills (good ones, a Makita and a Porter Cable) for under 5 bucks at tag sales, because the batteries were dead and hard to find. Wiring one up makes sense, on or off the trail.

Hey, one time I was out off-roading and had this nasty toothache. Man, what I would've given for a cordless drill that day.

Did you not read the story. About how the bolt broke off in the yoke and they had everything they needed except a drill. I know you dont carry any spare parts but some people actually have to drive thier rig home.

I used one once to drill a hole in the bumber to mount my trail flag. And I havn't carried one since.
But as bad as your memory is, I wouldn't think you'd remember that day.
