Any drill will charge off a low cost inverter. Buy a good one, such as a
Makita. I carry a Makita C2 and a low cost B&D combi drive.
Is there no end to your idiocy and cheapness?
With a boat like yours don't skimp on tools!

Scott, don't waste your time with no name drills. The batteries suck. Buy a
Robi. Best value.

No name, but by a Robi...which is essentially a toy drill?
Even a low end B&D lasts longer! Buy a makita or even a MW...a real drill.

Another dumb ass response from the guy who knows nothing about everything.
Robi's are used by many professionals. I called it a value because they are
much cheaper than Makitas with a fine build quality and the batteries hold a
charge unlike many other less expensive brands.

Loco, Ryobi doesn't make a professional cordless drill. They are all cheap
consumer models for the most part. Nor have I ever seen a "pro" pull a Ryobi
anything out. Dewalt, Makita, Porter Cable and Some B&D are good products
actually used by pros. Makita is among the top units around for many years. I
also use Porta Cable sanders. Bosch jigs are the best due to the patents. Ryobi
makes 50 & 60 dollar cheapie's or combi kits. Scotty already owns enough crap,
so why egg him on to get more?
Ryobi available at National Liquidaters!

When I was working in the trades everyone preferred Makita, though that's
probably changed. Standard these days is 18 volt, though I don't see why you
would need to carry one ON the boat. I can't think of any emergencies that
might require the use of a cordless drill. I looked at the description of
this particular drill, nothing stood out, not water resistant, doesn't even
come with a waterproof carrying case. Spend your money on a good 18v,
something you can leave at home, and take down to the boat on the rare
occasion that you actually need to drill some holes.

I bought a 14.5 over an 18 because I felt the 14.5 would get into tighter
spaces on a boat.

A "robi"? like R2D2? He's pretty handy at repair. And you can plug
him into your boat's central computer when you want hyper speed.

No you nitwit. No.
