Hi Broz!
What shopping at Lowes (not to advertize) and I saw that stuff: General UltraTech Power Precision Screwdriver ... look like a low power screw driver very affordable (20 $).
I wanted to know if anyone have ever used it? and if so where did they find universal adapter for personal drills or else?
Thank you in advance,
Cheers,
TBro

If I have learned anything from the 20+ years I've spent as a Mechanic its that you should NEVER skimp on a tool. Cheap tools fail quicker, malfunction and cause damage to the piece you are working on, and most times don't work as advertised. I know that my tools are way above the range of the normal hobbiest, but there is no excuse for not buying a good hand drill. Makita makes a very good drill and the one I have been using has lasted me the better part of 7 years. I just replaced the sister to the one I have at home at work with another Makita that has a Li-on battery. If you're on a budget The Home Depot has a pretty good line of the Ryobi stuff. I have a 1/2 drill that I use for all my woodworking. It had a good warranty and it's lasted me a few years without a problem so far so I'd be comfortable recommending this guy to you. www.homedepot.com/h_d1/N-5yc1v/R-100497930/h_d2/ProductDisplay?langId=-1&storeId=10051&catalogId=10053For some extra cash you can get this though which would be MUCH better. www.dremel.com/en-us/Accessories/Pages/ProductDetail.aspx?pid=4486www.dremel.com/en-us/Tools/Pages/ToolDetail.aspx?pid=300+SeriesThis will give you a great tool for many many uses around the house. I use my dremel for a lot of hobby stuff. I carved a butt on a dark elf the other day with it and also removed a plate mail bikini... Naked Sorceresses are better than clothed ones IMHO. anyway dont skimp on tools, you'll regret it in the long run. Chris |

I have used this for a couple of years and I really like it. The downside is that it spins pretty fast even on the lowest setting and using it for pinning is not really an option but its great for converting. It's especially good for cutting through metal models and grinding the burrs down at the joins. www.amazon.com/Dremel-1100-01-7-2-Volt-Lithium-Ion-Cordless/dp/B000E64WKOEric |
