[Shop-talk] Milwaukee vs Dewalt cordless Hex Impact Driver

[Mark]

For years I would leave a cordless drill on my boat just so I would have it 
handy while underway.  Every time I ever needed it either the battery was 
not charged or in need of replacement.  Finally one night at anchor I took 
the drill apart and soldered (butane) a pair of wires on it with a lighter 
plug so I could plug it in an accessory outlet on the boat.  That was over 
ten years ago and my old drill still works like a charm.  It was a 9 volt, 
now 12 volt, it runs a bit faster but hasn't burned out yet.  I would think 
the same would work for a 18 volt drill since the battery voltage drops 
quickly under load anyway.  Nothing like a 100 amp hour battery for your 
drill!

Sniff, sniff.  If they made it for the 18V, I'd buy it in a heartbeat!
