thread title pretty much explains the situation. the funny part is is that i already have a 14.4V drill.
i am nearing completion on my project rally car. i have assembled my cage inside my car, but it requires drilling to bolt the splicing together. big suprise--drilling through metal runs the drill out of batteries very quickly. i was trying to see if someone would like to donate a drill so we could team up on it and get it done a little faster.
i have multiple titanium bits, so all i need is a drill with a power source of 14.4V or bigger.

thanks nick, that is exactlly what i need. the 18V i used last weekend lasted three times as long as my 14.4V. that should get the job done in one afternoon making my chances of competing in the 3/20/04 rally i lot better.
i can probly find someone to drill with me like my roommate Blake/Inspector or some random other car junkie friend. if not i will holla at your cellular. thanks again.

assuming a 404 number...haha...
Its a 12V...COCK BALLS...I thought it was a 14.
AHH FAHQ...I dunno if it will work...but it might...we used it to cut thru a nut on a a shock mount...and it has two batteries...I rarely see my tools they are always at Ricks...

hmmm, i guess it would help, but my 14 does about 1/3 of a hole using both batteries. and with 10 2/3 holes left a 12 wouldnt really speed the process up that much. worth a shot at least. i'll give one of you a call later today. btw, were you one of the guys working on Locke's car? and gave me a ride home?
