| If you get a Fluke meter then you can have it calibrated at Western Scientific. I don't know how much that costs though. |

Wait a minute, damn right, I took a ole battery from a next ole DMM that I thought was off and giving me off readings...Dude you rawk.. *runns off to get 9v* |

| kurpal_v2, Does it have to be that long, or will a shorter one suffice? |

Hey dudes, well my pricesmart mc culloch hammer drill finally gave out on me...think it's a trigger problem (might cost more to fix than it's worth)
Anyhow, i'm in the process of ordering a Bosch Hammer Drill...i need a hammer drill cuz i bore alot of holes in the walls home to mount speakers (and mammy cussin )
I used my previous hammer drill for screw driving also, do you all think i should buy a smaller drill also to use for driving?...or even those screwguns?...can someone tell me the difference between the two?
When i building something it's a kinda pain to keep switching from drill bit to screw bits...so i wanted a seperate dedicated drill/driver for putting down screws.
What ya'll recommend? |

thats y i own 4 drills !
1 craftman 14.4 v cordless for screws in places like d car or up on a ladder or far from a wall socket
1 old time B&D whose rpm only goes up to 650 but it has some power - used to build boxes , screwing & unscrewing only , not drilling with this 1 since d Phillips tip is always kept on it
1 dewalt with d chuck that cud hand tighten , 2500rpm used mainly for pre-drilling mdf for box building & drilling any holes
1 milwaukee hammer drill - goes thru bricks walls like that ... can make holes in concrete beams & good for heavy drilling like flat steel
i always have d B&D & dewalt together when i box building so i dont need to change bits .....i strongly suggest u invest in 2 drills so save on time & energy to switch between drilling & screwing ...
havent used a bosch drill before but i reguard d brand as being damn good since i have a heavy duty grinder from them & nothing stops or slows d power that have
dewalt & milwaukee drills work really good too just check d specs good because there r lower lighter use models ... |

| I use a METABO cordless hammer drill / screw gun 18 V works like a beast .....also i believe Dewalt has one as well ....ie the dewalt is a LIL lighter and smaller but price is a bit higher than the Metabo........ |
