I'm mainly interested in the drill-driver attachment. Apparently
it includes a speed reduction gearbox and the right angle gear.

Are there any other tools like that? Or anything else similar?

Thanks.

Yes. Plenty of drill attachments for right angle drilling.

Using a variable speed drill is better so to handle the gear speed.

Not sure why you need an attachment specifically for gear reduction.

Because I'm using them for my long-term project, push sticks for
inline skating. I'm working on a gas (grass trimmer) powered
version, my previous electric versions are shown here.

What is the make/model of the red 5.5 AH battery?

It came from a Chinese made Toro grass trimmer. And it lasted for
about 15 minutes. Currently, I don't know any more than the
information on their website, if they still sell it.

Cost is the problem with electric, and that's why I'm trying gas. I
suppose it's similar to electric cars. It's pushing battery capacity
for the application. If I could afford hundreds for a battery, it
might work as well as gas (assuming gas works well enough power-wise,
hopefully I'll find out soon).

That's the conclusion I've come around to after fooling around
with electric bikes for a few years. The energy density
weight-wise of batteries is still poor compared to gasoline and
the cost per mile is almost as bad.

I've been using couple of DeWalt 36v batteries, but all I need
the electric assist for is to avoid mouth breathing below a
certain temperature. That means little use... I get almost 10
miles per AH. OTOH, if I were to ride 100% electric they'd be
drained in a few miles.

IIRC, the improvement from lead-acid to lithium batteries
weight-wise is a factor of 5-7.

There's supposedly something in the pipeline that will give a
similar improvement factor over lithium. At that point,
electric bikes might become a lot more realistic if it doesn't
cost too much. OTOH there are so ebikes in use in China - even
with lead-acid - that the government considers them tb an
environmental problem....

I still can't get it out of my head that when I was a kid I used
to ride my Sears-And-Roebuck 50cc moped from West of Philadelphia
to Ocean City on about a gallon of gas...

Geeze... I didn't know Mad Magazine was still being published.

IMHO William Gaines should have been designated as a national
