You have already seen it's recharging mechanism discussed, rather at length. I didn't say it was incapable of drilling a hole. I guess for $16.99 it's a joy to behold. ; ) Seems odd to me... |

As far as I'm concerned, my Bosch hammer drill is the stuff when it comes to driving screws. I bought it to "put me out of my pain" of owning only the HF drill. And yes, I have the matching Bosch (ordinary) drill too. Just ask Lew to try to drive an inch long #10 screw, pre-drilled of course, and report back to us how it goes. |

Don't doubt what a driver drill can do. I have both a Makita 12 volt impact and a 18 volt Bosch impact. I used the Makita almost exclusively over my Makita drill/driver for driving screws. I did not like the Bosch by comparison. Almost 3 years ago I got a 15 volt Festool drill driver and have hardly touched the impact drivers since. The Festool proved it self when I was removing 4' 3/8" lag screws and driving 3" deck screws when building shelves for my storage shed. I could drive the screws as slowly or as quickly as I wanted. I could stop the driving 3/4 the way in, stop, and resume with little effort and with out giving full pull on the trigger. I am still not sure if I have stalled the drill or not. I was really considering getting the Festool impact when it was just a rumor of being introduced when I purchased the drill/driver. I'm glad the impact was not available when I bought the driver. I simply have not had the need for an impact since getting the T15-3 Festool. Now having said all of that. ;~) I'm with you as to whether the Harbor Freight model could keep up. |

I won't argue the point that the HF drill is a good value for $16.99. krw, why do YOU say they are Junk? My experience and his are different. What's unbelievable about that? I weight performance more than price. |

wrote 40 years ago when I saved up to buy a real Milwaukee "hole shooter" it was a big drill. $90 for a corded drill 40 years ago! Used on the job nearly daily for a decade and off and on since then, it still runs. I have worn out more circular saws than I can count from my days as a production house/commercial framer, and then as a contractor. Milwaukees were the top of the heap then. My oldest Milwaukee is around 30 years old, and I finally got tired of rebuilding it with switch, bearings and cord when it came up to $125 or so to do it. But... it still works. Funny, I have the same story. My 30 year old and newer 25 year old Milwaukee circulars are still running strong. Nothing but cords and switches replaced. I finally greased the gear boxes a couple years ago because I felt guilty... -- Jim in NC --- This email is free from viruses and malware because avast!

Having been visited by members of the sticky finger club, I have been without tools for some time. Made the decision to get at least a battery powered drill. Last time around it was an 18 VDC DeWalt complete with a couple of batteries and a panel saw as a kit that cost $400-$600. This time, something for an occasional hole drilling or screw driving will get the job done. Time to look at Harbor Freight. Found a 3/8, 900 RPM 18 VDC drill with a charger and one battery for $16.99. Probably has plastic gears, has only a 90 day guarantee from Harbor Freight, and a charging system that just plain sucks. It requires 3-5 hours to charge. It has a red and a green pilot light. The green light indicates it is connected to shore power. The red light indicates the battery is being charged. There is no indication when the battery is recharged. Plug it in and wait 3-5 hours, that's it. Assuming that the drill will perform, a work around exists for a charging system. Buy a 2nd drill. You now have two (2) batteries (NiCad), a back up charger, and a 2nd drill which is always handy. Best of all, you have less than $40 invested. Not a bad deal, if it works. Time will tell. Lew Or this looks like an unbeatable deal, lifetime warranty, Impact, drill/driver combo, 12 volt 4.0 amp Li-Ion Ridgid $99. http://www.homedepot.com/p/RIDGID-12...00SB/205374283 |

Plug an LED night light into power outlet strip. Plug an LED night light into 24 hour timer outlet. Plug the 24 VDC "WallWart" from the Harbor Freight recharger module into a 24 hour timer outlet. Plug 24 VDC plug from the "WallWart" into the Harbor Freight recharger module and insert battery to be recharged. Plug power outlet strip into a source of power. Rotate timer cam until it just touches the "ON" cam. Turn the power outlet strip "ON". snip When I was playing around with one of those cheap power monitor meters I decided to check out my drill chargers (Milwaukee NiMH & Lion). Turns out they suck about 4 watts each without batteries being charged. I took an old-school timer switch and set it so it activates for 1 hour per day. This keeps the batteries charged and saves me the 184 Watts (8W * 23 hours) a day. The timer didn't register on the power meter so I assume it's maybe a Watt to power. Total savings?
