My wife found this 2 drills for a awesome price after black Friday but I don't know which one to keep! I've heard a lot good reviews about then both but which one do you think will be the better one? The black & Decker has a nice case and I know the craftsman has more accessories! I usually do small work around the house. Tough decision!

What are the best Hex shaped drill bits for quick change drills?

I have a Ryobi compact drill and noticed the reviews on the Ryobi drill bits are not so great.
I am thinking to get a different brand if possible.

The set that Ryobi makes is (Ryobi Speed Load Plus 17-Piece Titanium Drill Bit Set) from Home depot

I am looking for a do it all kind of set but will mostly be drilling into my walls which are some are stucco & some brick I also will be using on wood. Will not be doing metal so much not sure if a 4v drill can do that. I'm new to this so any advice helps. Thanks

Mixing drywall mud and ceiling texture?

tankgi — Wed, 14 Sep 2011 18:50:40 +0000

Is it ok to use a not-so heavy duty drill to mix drywall mud. I tried using a cordless drill and it used up all battery power in less than a minute. The only corded drill I have is a light duty drill that I use mostly for woodworking. Would using this drill ruin it?

Also, any tips on the mud to use for knockdown texture on the ceiling. Should I use the same stuff I used to tape the seams, buckets of all purpose (green top) already mixed mud? And how much water should I add to a bucket of this.
Any suggestions on what amp drill I should be looking at

Can I paint a cordless drill?

tankgi — Mon, 12 Sep 2011 17:51:05 +0000

I have a ugly looking drill and was wondering if I spray painted over it will the paint rub off when I'm using it? Would a clear coat help the issue?

How can I attach speakers to a battery?

tankgi — Sun, 11 Sep 2011 20:22:52 +0000

I have some old speakers laying around that I would like to rig up to my bicycle in a milk crate. I need some advice on how to hook it up to a power source, I was hoping to use an old cordless drill battery but if there is a more practical or efficient method I would be grateful if you could tell me. Thank you all for your time!

I can't find a site for Makita customer questionier/service about recharg. bat.s now made by China, was Japan?

tankgi — Fri, 09 Sep 2011 22:47:31 +0000

I have a Makita cordless drill. Back about 6 years ago when I purchased the drill, it came with a factory rechargable "Japan Made" battery. When I needed to replace the battery, it cost 50.00 and is now made in China (it's labeled PA09 9.6 v 1.3Ah) It is not holding a charge. It's useless to spend .00 on a battery when I can purchase a new drill w/factory battery for about 0.00 Makita make. I've had it for just 2 years. I'd like to know if there are other rechargable batteries for cordless tools made in China that are having the same problem. I can't find a site to inquire or see if this is an ongoing problem. I'd like a refund or a better replacement.
