Greetings All,
I'm looking for a small cordless drill mainly for drilling pilot holes and
driving screws. My 18v DeWalt is too large for small work and I keep that
for grunt work. I notice that Nahm has a small P-C and it doesn't look bad.
But since I already have the small Bosch 10.8v Litheon right angle driver,
I'd like to get the companion Pocket Driver (I've noticed that Bosch sells
some of their battery powered tools without the battery and charger, in case
you already have them). My concern is whether the speed is high enough for
drilling. My right angle driver speed is a little slow for the kind of
drilling I plan on doing. Anyone have a Pocket Driver out there? Does it
work as a drill? If all else fails, I'll go with the P-C and just collect
another charger, battery,...

I've got an old Stanly push drill that does those chores for me.
Batteries are not a problem, and when sharp, the bits jump right into
the wood.

Those are great! I've got a couple of Goodell-Pratt models as well as a
Stanley. Quickest screw hole drills I've got.
But then I'm an "old guy" too :-).

RE: Subject
Years ago, there was a display of small hand tools developed for the
avaiation indusdtry at a boat show.
From memory, think there was a small drill in the package.
Don't have a clue if they are still in business or how to find them,
but might want to start with your local airport for some help in
finding a source.
Since it is avaiation based, don't expect low cost, but will be
quality.
Have fun.

9.6 v Dewalt drill/driver works great for me, have two on hand so don't
need to change out tip. Bought em rebuilt, $75 each, batt and all.
