Boats-r-US has a Seafit 12v drill on sale. Is there a 12v drill which will
run and/or charge off your boat batteries?

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!

Good guess, since I'm asking.

All of them can if you know what to do. Oops! I guess that eliminates
you.

I have an inverter. I'd like a drill that runs direct off the batts.


Why? There are far better units available that run off their own packs.

C'mon, Bill. There's no way Scotty will buy a multi power adapter and wire it
to a drill. The man chose a mac and then a Siedleman. Is it any wonder that
he's about to buy a "seafit" drill?

He asked about a 12 volt drill and 12 volt rechargable batteries. You
can easily modify the AC charger that comes with it so it can be used
with a cigarette lighter plug. No adapters needed.

Good point, but he shouldn't bother with the crummy Seafit drill. Even on a
boat, a good drill is worthwhile. My Makita has taken a beating, still works
great. The head of the B&D rusted when I forgot to hit it with oil, but I saved
it. At the slip I tend to use an ancient Skil drill, built like a tank.

Hey Boobys, could you be so kind as to supply us with a make
and model number for that "multi power adapter", or is only
available in the Matrix?

Cheers

Sure, Marty. Not surprised that you're ignorance extends to more levels..

Radio shack Catalog #: 273-1827 made for computers, does 12-27 volts and can be
addapted to a LOT of gear with a few adjustments.

Also: Catalog #: 273-1811, but just 300 MA.

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