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?

RB

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?

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.
