Yrs ago I "bumped" one with a 12 volt battery but don"t remember Zactly how and I know it"s a little risky..Any other thoughts? Suggestions? Thanks [Reply]   [No Email]

But I've wondered if a variable speed one would work ? [Reply]  [No Email]

You need an old corded type with a brush type motor. Of course there could be other issues. Charles [Reply]  [No Email]

Keep in mind that if it works, drill will start spinning...move your hand away quickly. [Reply]  [No Email]
