120V hand drill? Too late - Black & Decker beat them to the market

120VAC, 6AMPS! thats 0.95 HP in the palm of your hand

(maybe thats why it has two handles?)

I'd pay good money to watch someone spin around while trying to drill a hole. :D (As long as they aren't hurt in doing so)

I don't believe this video satisfies the requirement (as long as they aren't hurt), but here you go anyway http://video.google.com/videoplay?do...55194&q=dewalt

Sandrag beat me to it - you forgot to ask: how much would he pay?

Re: DeWalt: 36 Volt Tools!!

What bugs me is that manufacturers keep making higher voltage drills and saws, and they all still last nearly the same time. I would rather see a company go back to a 12 volt drill but instead of the typical 2-4 amp battery they make a 6-10 amp battery. The drill would have much longer run time and could do the same task repetitively, longer.

I have used many brands and feel that higher voltage doesn't really mean better, sure the motors might be more powerful, but thats because they believe consumers would like to see bigger numbers and dont develop more powerful low voltage. For example Dewalt or anyother manufacturer should drop back down to 12 volt and redesign to more powerful motors. Look at what we do with 12 volt systems.

Maybe so. I just don't want a hernia toting around a 40# battery pack. At some point battery weight cancels the hassles of dragging a tether around. Heck, even robots need a tether once in a while.

Remember,

The journey of a thousand miles begins... with a robot not on tether in the pits. :ahh:

I don't know of anyone who's tried it but it was interesting none the less. Here's the article.
