[QUOTE="danmyersmn, post: 113029, member: 2096"] If you use a cup brush on a drill it will do one of three things. First if it is a cordless you will drain the battery down extremely quickly and will be waiting on it all day long. If you use a 1/4" light duty drill you will have much better luck but if you use it none stop for a long period of time and work that cup brush hard you will produce a nice electrical fire smell followed by white smoke. I did the same thing using a harbor freight angle grinder taking rust off a '77 powerwagon too so they are not that good of quality either. If you use a 1/2" heavy duty or impact drill you can work it all day long and it will still have more to give out. Now, if you go to Home Depot or Lowes and start pricing out Hitachi, or Dewalt or Milwaukee, Makita, etc. Then with those prices in mind you go over to one of the larger PawnAmerica's you will have your choice of Dewalt, Milwaukee, and Porter Cable drills, grinders, sawzalls. Basically if it has a cord and is used in some sort of construction you can find 20 of them for 1/4 of the price of new. The battery powered tools are equally cheap. I prefer cords on heavy use items though. I am in my garage, do I need it to be cordless? Drill/screw driver yeah its great for light duty but if it needs to drill something big a cord is better. Something for cutting, grinding, breaking, destroying, exploding? Nope, I would rather have the power over the mobility. [/QUOTE]
