musclejunkie Posted August 2, 2011 Share Posted August 2, 2011 I would use a corded drill, you gonna be running out of batteries. Agreed! I use a variable speed corded drill and have had no issues with over powering the focus pads even at high RPM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue04SSS Posted August 3, 2011 Share Posted August 3, 2011 I agree with a corded drill. When using a cordless you will go through batteries faster than you would think Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ram4Life2k16 Posted August 2, 2011 Author Share Posted August 2, 2011 I have my eye on this one now. Shop Hitachi 18-Volt 1/2" Cordless Lithium-Ion Driver Drill with Case at Lowes.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kustom_FX Posted August 3, 2011 Share Posted August 3, 2011 I got this kit Ryobi P850 1/2 in. 18-Volt Cordless Drill KitFathers Day Weekend when it was only $69. I already have the same drill (a few years older), but I wanted more batteries. A 2 pack of them was $59! So for the extra $10 I got another drill, charger, and carry bag. So I have 4 batteries and 2 drills now. 1 for my shop use, and 1 for detailing. Nice huh? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Team Adam's Posted August 1, 2011 Share Posted August 1, 2011 Thats a nice one, the only thing I'd recommend is look at the lithium Ion battery powered drills. The charge lasts longer and seems to stay more consistent for longer. I have this one: Bosch 36618-02 Compact Tough 1/2 in. 18 Volt Cordless Compact Drill - 36618-02 at The Home Depot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigaudiofanatic Posted August 1, 2011 Share Posted August 1, 2011 I x2 the lithium ion drills they last forever!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris@Adams Posted August 1, 2011 Share Posted August 1, 2011 I think that would work great, you have 2 batteries, you would always have one charged. And that seems like a good deal! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lawson4450 Posted August 2, 2011 Share Posted August 2, 2011 I bought a cheap corded drill from a non american company lol but for 13 bucks how could i go wrong. I couldnt justify 30 bucks for a cheap still non american company for something i very rarely use. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chewy Posted August 2, 2011 Share Posted August 2, 2011 Li ion for SURE! That being said, I use my corded drill more than my cordless when it comes to polishing/buffing. I use the cordless for quick jobs though. Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
