Small cordless drills
I'm planning on getting one of those small cordless drills for my wife. Was looking at some of the drills I notice that some don't have a torque adjustment. Wouldn't you strip the screw head without have this adjustment. Am I missing something.

Probably not, because a majority of them are variable speed. Drill (screw) slower to lessen the risk of stripping the head of the screw.

Also, make sure you buy one that uses lithium ion rechargable batteries. Nothing beats the light weight, power and quick recharging of this type of unit. In my install business I have shifted all my cordless tools (mostly Makita now) to LiOn and am extremely pleased with the results.... |

Orion
Orion, if you have the secret of enternal life ... care to share it?
Just teasing and hope you are the first one to beat the odds! If you do have the answer... I'll edit my signature to say An optimist thinks that the glass is half full, a pessimist thinks the glass is half empty,a realist thinks the glass is twice a big as it needs to be, and Orion has the secret to enternal life"

I wish I had the answer.....but alas, I'll probably do just what everyone else does.........some day.
But, I do have the answer to "the ultimate question of life, the universe, and everything"........ 42 |

Lol
Adams is.. (was?) awesome
The answer to this is very simple. It was a joke. It had to be a number, an ordinary, smallish number, and I chose that one. Binary representations, base thirteen, Tibetan monks are all complete nonsense. I sat at my desk, stared into the garden and thought '42 will do.' I typed it out. End of story. The Hitch Hiker Series are some of my favorites. "So Long, and Thanks for All the Fish" (4th book in his trilogy)
