Re: [MBZ] OT cheap cordless drill

[Kaleb Striplin via Mercedes]

That's probably what happened to mine. I have had it a while but don't use it 
that much and the battery will not hold a charge long enough to screw in a 
couple of screws. I always just left the battery on the charger all the time 
till I needed it.

Re: [MBZ] OT cheap cordless drill

[OK Don via Mercedes]

I have the little brother - the 12v Bosch drill - and love it so much that
I got a second one so I don't have to run between the hangar and the
garage, it was always in the other building from where I was working. I
think the second one was on "sale" at Lowes for $99 at the time. It has two
speeds - fast for drilling, slow for driving big, long screws.
There are other brands that look identical, but the batteries don't
interchange.

Re: [MBZ] OT cheap cordless drill

[Curt Raymond via Mercedes]

 We have a Dewalt at work and its really nice. When the battery in my Craftsman 
19v finally dies I'll probably go with one of those.That said the second 
battery started dying 2 or 3 years ago probably from lack of use but the "good" 
one is still fine. I've had the thing nearly 10 years, nothing to complain 
about other than the ni-cad batteries are heavy.

I just recently got a used Porter Cable with a lithium batter.
Finally, a cordless drill that is worth it.

When I was using a drill/driver almost daily, the NiCd battery
worked out just fine.  But in the last decade or so I might have
use for one a couple times every couple months.  The NiCd is
useless in this situation because if I leave the battery on the
charger, it kills it.  If I don't the battery is flat when I want
to use it.

The lithium can sit for weeks - or maybe months - without
significant self discharge.  So it's actually usable when I want
to use it!

I still use my Yankee screwdriver more.

Re: [MBZ] OT cheap cordless drill

[Randy Bennell via Mercedes]

The same shutters have been used now for about 16 winters and really 
show no deterioration. It is 7/16" rather than just 3/8" but I doubt 
that makes much difference.
They have a coat of white paint on the exterior side. Might only be 
primer. My mother painted them so I really don't know what she used.
Winters are cold here but not all that wet so that likely helps. They 
might face a bit of rain spring and fall but probably not all that much.

They sit out all summer too but under the carport so not exposed to rain.

Time didn’t permit me to do a better job of getting what I needed, so I went 
100% low tech.  I bought 3/4” treated plywood and 2-3/4” tapcon screws.  I 
screwed the plywood over the window openings directly through my stucco into

In typical Dan fashion, I overengineered/overthought the process.  I really 
wanted to cut plywood to fit within the window recesses so I didn’t have to 
drill holes in the structure, but neither time nor the availability of 
materials allowed for this.  3/4” treated plywood was total overkill.  Not only 
was it stupid heavy, it was far thicker than necessary.  So here’s what’s next:

Sell the 3/4” treated plywood on Craigslist. It’s in big panels, so it should 
have some value.  Buy 1/2” CDX plywood and cut it to fit the window openings.  
Buy a boatload of PlyLox clips to secure the 1/2” plywood in the openings.

http://plylox.com/wp/

This eliminates the use of fasteners and drilling holes.

Tomorrow when Lowe’s opens I’ll get a tube of paintable silicone and fill the 
screw holes.  Once everything sets up and dries I’ll touch up the paint to 
cover the places where I drilled holes.  Then I’ll order some 1/2” plywood and 
some PlyLox clips.

Curly posted something about that earlier, but I looked at what it would
cost to purchase the needed electrics, and that exceeded the cost of this
new stuff.

Is that the $99 Hercules or the cheaper one?
The thing to remember with AVE is he's comparing to Pro gear, could be the HF

Drill Master 18v cordless 3/8 drill/driver for $16 with the coupon.  NiCad
batteries.  Second battery pack was like $13, I used the 20% off coupon on
that.

Re: [MBZ] OT cheap cordless drill

The Sears cordless drill lasted about 10 years, and at 16 years one of the
battery packs still will hold enough juice to get a few small things done.
I was tempted to either rebuild the battery packs or replace the battery
packs, but when I looked at the cost, this HF deal was a no-brainer.
$26.40 plus tax for HF drill with two battery packs and a charger.  I'm
going to see if I can fit this into the Sears drill plastic case, and then
probably chuck all that out.

Plus I got a FREE 9-LED flashlight!!!

I don't buy a cheap cordless drill expecting it to last 10 years with little to 
no use, I figure the battery will die in five years (which might be 5-10 uses) 
so I buy a cheap 120v drill and expect it to last a lifetime.

Re: [MBZ] OT cheap cordless drill

[Curt Raymond via Mercedes]

Let us know, I've got an older 19v Craftsman with a dead battery. I hate to buy 
another battery for an old drill so I'm considering a whole new drill. I do 
have one working battery so I guess I'll keep it as long as that lasts.
