Hi,

I am looking for an inexpensive corded driver-drive to use when my
cordless is flat. None I've seen have the slip clutch (ratchet?) that is
common on cordlesses. Does someone make one?

Thanks,
Gary

Yes; Ryobi makes one. $31.98 "Online Special" at HD.

(or search "clutch driver" at homedepot.com if the link doesn't work)
My boss has one, but I haven't used it. I could probably check it out
if you're looking for something specific.

I've never seen one myself, but the first result from a google search is
a link to one by Black and Decker. I'm sure there are others further down.

I have one. Haven't had it long enough to tell about how it will hold
up over time, but it certainly sounds like a toy compared to my
milwaukee drill. However it is well balanced, comfortable trigger,
has storage onboard for a couple drivers, and a reasonably long cord.
I'm not crazy about the forward/reverse switch, but it's not terrible.

I reach for it for light tasks because it's much more comfortable to
hold, and I can tighten the chuck using the drill motor without fear
of it tearing my hand apart unlike the milwaukee, which always wins
any battle it encounters.

It is not inexpensive.

It is not a drill, only works with Apex type tips.

Best in the business:

It was a Black & Decker commercial tool, now under the
DeWalt name. I honestly feel the B&D is better balanced, but no
longer available.
