Title: Drills
Post by: G & M on July 17, 2014, 09:01:55 pm

How many of you are using battery drills to wind up your hose? If yes what kind of drill and do you have it wired up to your van battery?

I have an 18v drill wired into the van battery.

You need one that is 2 speed and a variable speed trigger. I have been using the sane drill for 4 years and it was secondhand when I bought it.

Thanks Lee. I've tried a couple of drills but they burnt out. Will try an 18v next.

Make sure it has metal gears. Plastic ones wont last.
