Yeah, if your going to try to use the dip tube.. Not sure how your going to chuck it into a drill, or how well it will spin. I'd still spend the 35 and get one that will spin well and has the carboy/keg bung.. Or spend an extra 10 and get yourself some small round stock. Unless you really want to use the dip tube, and struggle with chucking it up, for me it just wouldn't be worth it. I also wouldn't sew the pads cause you'll need to replace or clean them sometime.
