I think that depends on what your broaching... After all, the drill has to push a bit through metal.

I do this all the time with small broaches (like 1/16" and 1/8" keyways).

I also have a 20 ton hydralic press which (like others have said) is really sloppy and a pain in the a** to use. But if you ever need to bend/press really big things, it comes in handy

I hear Harbor Freight is a great place to find these kinds of tools. cough...other threads... cough
