    Sally's GF3 thread

    Just my opinion. Use a heavy duty corded drill. Reason: That process does take a segment of time. A cordless, or even a lite duty electric ,,, the workload is too much for that small motor. You may be replacing your drill sooner than expected. Here is the idea. Imagine hooking this pony to...
