Default RE: cordless drill as a starter?

Instead of destroying a good socket just the the Cone and insert from tower for $8

Use a nut and bolt for an Arbor. Chuck it in the drill and see how things go.


You may want to see what you drill is capable of though. Most cordless drills trade off speed for torque since 90% of the time they are used as giant screwdrivers. My Dewalt has 2 speeds.. 600 rpm and 2200 rpm.. Even on the high speed it may not get an engine going..
Now it might work great on a gasser though..

Or just buy the whole starter for $20

For another $27 make it cordless

Or just wire 2 6 cell car packs in series.. that works great too.
