RE: Starter has no torque
As noted the problem with using a cordless drill as a starter is not the power but ergonomics that are completely wrong. They are very dangerous when used with one hand.
Now when used with two hands then the problem dose not exist and they would be fine. Therein lies the problem and unless we are starting the very largest of our airplanes the tendency for most of us, is to use the starter in the right hand and hold the fuselage with the left even when the airplane is restrained or in a 'safety stand'. This is almost impossible to do because the switch orientation and position of a drill is completely wrong when used in this way.
If someone does try using a drill please only use two handed.
