It would be somewhat useful, except that even the smallest 20 pitch gear (something like 10 or 12 tooth) is still pretty large and has a standard bore much bigger than the drill output shaft. You would need to press in a drill rod or something into the gear then re-bore it out. Having a larger gear like that would almost certainly also require supporting the output shaft also on the side opposite the motor (Team 45 already does this, we didn't)
