Does anyone know where a 1/4 inch corded drill (relatively cheap) can be
obtained? Or am I looking for something that is no longer manufactured?
Yes, there are a few out there, but at $100 dollars and up, not for my
occasional need once or twice a year.

Thanks in advance,

I think Makita still makes one, at 4500RPM it is good for small holes
in sheet metal, I'd imagine they would be popular with home aircraft
builders who don't have (or don't want to listen to) large air
compressors, when I got mine it was about $60, but that was a while
ago, they could be $100 now, so that might be one you saw.
Even if they were $60, for "occasional need once or twice a year" I'd
get a cheap 3/8" drill, which are much more common and can be had much
cheaper

For aircraft building a cheap 6 or 7.2 volt cordless, picked up at a
garage sale with dead batteries and run off a 12 volt car battery
works just fine!!!!
