Agreed. We use heaps of DeWalt battery drills on ships, Antarctic bases
and the like. They work, keep working and can handle a lot of abuse
without dying on you - good feature when the nearest replacement is
thousands of km away. Second choice for me is Makita but I just bought
an 18V Makita drill for myself as it was $100 cheaper than the DeWalt
and was capable of doing all I wanted it to do. I've been driving
roofing screws with it.

Cheap tools have their place tho. I just bought a cheap Chinese 7.5"
circular saw to use with a metal cutting blade rather than get the
metal dust into an expensive saw. Damned thing works well and cost
little more than the replacement switch for a Hitachi which I broke
by.... dropping it off the roof! Damn. Mind you we run on 240V power so
our tools can generate decent torque without massive cable thickness.

Thing about battery drills is the torque they can develop and the
amp-hours of the battery. For cheap ones, these are the 2 areas where
they cut back and it only matters if you need that extra torque that a
better motor can develop in the same weight factor. Lots of other
features in better drills but unless you're using them a real lot, the
extra dollars mightn't be worth it.

If you look at the information you quoted ( Porter-Cable) the grinders are
rated at one speed. Also if you can lean on a 7 amp grinder enough to slow
it down, you have produced enough friction to have already burned through
the gelcoat. Again if 3M recomends a max of 3000 rpm, and you exceed with
sucess I commend you, you were lucky, and very careful. Besides B&D shows
only 2 grinders on their site, both 4 1/2" dia with a speed of 10,000rpm
http://www.blackanddecker.com/produc...owertools.aspx nothing with a
variable speed though. They do show a polisher on that site. Again I have
used many hand held or Snag grinders, none with variable speed, though they
may exist. I work on boats a little more than once a year by the way.

Bob, I am a tinsmith and use these tools every day. A grinder has the
lowest
speeds you state, and are way to fast for polishing, They also use a much
higher amperage draw than a polisher and will not slow as a polisher will
with pressure. They do not have a variable speed range and will burn
through any gell coat at their rated speeds, read the can a can of
compound
from any reputible manufacturer such as 3M or Norton.

Yes, indeed, you ARE busted. My B&D Grinder and several other's I've seen
ARE
VARIABLE. Some DO have variable speed. One of the Porter Cable units I
used to
use was also variable. Mine goes down to 2500 RPM, though I use higher RPM
during jobs.

http://www.powertoolservices.com/too...on/6154-70.htm

Meanwhile 3M suggests a max RPM of 3000 RPM, but you can safely exceed
that by
a good margin. We certainly haven't damaged any hulls using the B&D.
Meanwhile
I've never used ANY grinder that didn't slow down quite a bit with a big
polish
pad on it and under load.
Stop talking about stuff you don't know about. I actually work on boats

That's pretty funny, Marty. I ask more questions here than ANYONE else and I
usually get good answers. Most recently I asked about SSB and ham radios and
sounder thru hulls.
Meanwhile, when you "doubted" the existence of 12 volt power adapters and I
posted proof, you got in a snit and started asking electronics questions. Why?
Because you were busted and became insecure. You needed to QUIZ me so you could
establish some proof of your superior knowledge in a given area.
YOU are the one who postures. It's the "posturing" and insecurity of the people
here that allows me to so easily control and beat all of you. THINK about it.
Of course you all cry otherwise, scrambling for mutual support in your frail

I can also feign insecurity on a given subject, thereby exposing the rest of

if the battery pack has a plug there should be no problem. If it's a
fancy holder then the holder will need to be modified to add a new

12v drills
 

You are welcome. I just went through the wondering phase and my BIL set
me straight to the charger he has used for years in his work truck.

BTW best to stick with NiMH over the older NiCad batteries. They last
longer without the memory effects and have a much lower self discharge
rate (means they will still have a charge weeks/months after taken off
the charger.

Makita drills are considered by many to be the best. They have a charger
that works off 12v cigar plug. Available often on EBAY.
