Default looking to replace B&D 1/4 corded drill



Someone gave me an extra 3/8" B&D drill motor and I tossed a $10 HF
1/2" chuck on it. I use it for drilling deep holes in houses or RR
ties with my HF augers. The front bearing is leaking its stinky lube
but it's still the Everready bunny of drill motors.


my favorite heavy duty drill is a 3/8 Rockwell - it has a 7 amp motor - it's
their industrial series from the 70s - I drilled holes for conduit in a LOT
of 2X4s with that drill and it was such a nice improvement over the 1/4 inch
drill it replaced - and much better than most 1/2 inch drills -
