I'm tempted to scrap the batterry and run mine of one of those
emergency jump start thingies but then they're less than 12V.
Eh? They are a standard SLA 12v battery so as much 12 volts as anything
else that says it has a 12 volt battery.
But a cordless drill powered from an external pack isn't cordless any
more...
True, but it shares possibly the most important feature of a true
"cordless" tool, in that you aren't dependent on having a mains socket
local to the work you are doing.
How often does this occur for DIY? And if it were a regular occurrence for
me I'd get a generator. I use cordless only for the convenience of, err,
not having a cord. ;-)
