Guest Wilksy Posted April 3, 2015 Report Share Posted April 3, 2015 can see why a 600w inverter wouldn't sort it! But there about £30 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oliver90owner Posted April 3, 2015 Report Share Posted April 3, 2015 (edited) Err, change the drill for a battery operated screwdriver? How fast will it go? Does it take off? Try your local scrapyard for a wiper motor? A 600W inverter would waste more power than you need to use. Your drill motor may well overheat, if turning slowly, as the cooling fan will be rather inefficient! Donate it to your wife as a rotary clothes drier? I'm basically with tightchoke on this one! Get a basic drill with no electronics (an old 600rpm B &D?). They will certainly run on DC, but you might need more than 12 volts. Most drill motors do not care whether AC or DC supply - the brushes and commutator are the give-away clues.

Guest Wilksy Posted April 3, 2015 Report Share Posted April 3, 2015 Good points Oliver! It's a cheap as chips drill that's been in the shed for five years! but it has a variable speed trigger, been reading up on inverters and there not for constant use at that amount of wattage, all the hard work was in the arms and the cradle ! So I'll have a tinker and re post the results, I was just trying to get something going for morning so I could use it, but no worries, thought I'd reinvented the wheel!
