    wanted info re Cordered drill with cordless features

    I have a nice cordless 14.4v craftsman drill - does everything I want except the batteries are junk - will no longer hold a charge and I don't like the idea of just throwing these things away - so instead of buying new batteries and keep the cycle going - does anyone make a corded 3/8 drill - Variable speed, reversible, key less chuck and has a multi position clutch ?

    I haven't looked thru the HD tool area yet - so there might be something there


    thanks

      One of my car club buddies is always other-purposing stuff. He turned an old wringer washer into a great parts washer.

      When his cordless drill battery went West, he hooked the drill up to a battery charger through a long cord. He says it's the best drill he's ever owned.
      You might think I haven't contributed much to the world, but a large number
      of the warning labels on tools can be traced back to things I've done...

        You could consider having the batteries rebuilt. The replacement cells will likely be much better than the original cells.

        The owner, Jason, lives about a mile from me and has an excellent reputation for his work at this and other forums.

          Thanks for the replies, it appears that these models are only available in the US and amazon doesn't ship this product outside the US. Next time I'm down I'll go shopping.

          Thanks again..

            Perhaps you know somebody in the US that will relay the shipment to you?
