We also bought a Harbor Freight screwdriver just like that one when we were testing our designs, we ultimately decided not to use it because the Black and Decker had a larger reduction and the transmission had a much better build quality (we could hear the Harbor Freight screwdriver skipping teeth when we stopped the output shaft) the Black and Decker ones are also the same price.

I can literally just pull the pinion off this bad boy and press it onto our RS395

Neither the Harbor Freight or the B&D screwdrivers had pressed on pinions, they just had flats in the shafts, which was easy to replicate with a file.

It went together so fast, I forgot to take pictures. I had to diassemble it for these.




We won't be using this for any heavy work, just to run a roller on the front of the claw.

Beautiful! I think I know what I'm gonna look to do next season.

Great stuff guys. Would you mind sharing the ratios you found in those drills? Some of the folks that are having difficulty getting BB gearboxes might appreciate it.
