Thread: this drill good?

    Are you based in the US?

    I would stay away from hammer drill mechanisms as they are a pain.

    Difficult to say on the others as I am not familiar with them.

    Dang, the postage on that one is higher than the drill itself (USA to Netherlands)

    i tend to find that the black and decker drills generally use plastic gears but if your not over volting them then it should be ok

    is this one good?
    Easiest way to see if something is good/reliable is to search for it on a place like amazon and see what the reviews say. Read the lower reviews too as they may highlight things like reliability issues or poor manufacture.

    In this case it seems fine with only one mention of a poor build and 2 people saying the batteries didn't last. Given you wont be using the batteries you can ignore this.

    Do this sort of thing before asking on here. Its quick, its easy and it means you will learn more than us just giving you the answer.

    No it's not that they are difficult to open. It's that the hammer mechanism makes the gearbox more complex and you will have to disable the mechanism to get the drill to work as a drive motor.

    i have found ryobi drill to be robust in my robots ive never had to change a motor or gearbox in any event that they have been in and they have been smacked around quite a bit at GSL the last 2 years, although i did have to tighten the 2 screws holding the motor in after the second year lol ...... the version i used were CHD-1201 over volted to 4s

    if you after 18 volt i would suggest these

    or these depends how many you need

    they look the same as mine so they should have the proper bearing on the drive shaft which makes them nice and robust
