Just an FYI

That's a good deal for the HF spade-handle drill...another option other's have had success with is the other HF 1/2" D-handle unit. The D-handle drill is slow speed gear reduced also, but might spin a little faster than the spade handle drill linked above...only $34.99 YMMV

Hi

Interestingly, when you click on the link, it comes up with one price ($44.99) and suggests it's available for a lower one ($39.99) with the coupon. Put it in your cart and the coupon is declared invalid for that item. So much for the sale.

Crazy!

Same drill I am using. Works like a charm. Great value. Will check on mounting pic when I get home...

I used 3 L brackets.

I would guess that my Dad paid less than $35 back in the day. I do have to be careful though, I have seen smoke come out of the vents after a big grain bill.

WTF! What's the serial number on that 0000001?

i saw that pic, and instantly, the theme to the flintstones popped into my head

No variable speed, pull the trigger it's on release it's off!

$35 was big money back then...if that poor thing is smoking after use you are surely going to kill it soon...I suggest spending $35 for a drill that will handle the job with ease. That is a pretty cool tool pack, I had no idea something like this combo was ever made...donate that sucker to a museum.

Here is how mine is mounted.

Works Well, Variable Speed, Quick removal if I need to use it for actual drilling.

Here are a few pics of my simple assembly mounted on a piece of plywood over a Lowes 5 gallon bucket:

Nylon washer is the perfect additional space between the drill and the plywood in order to align the chuck with the mill shaft.
