Cut the bottom off of one of my shells and soldered wires and shrink tub . And it works good I just have to figure out how to have it stay there maybe I’ll glue it .

Nice man. I would recommend using heat shrink with glue to keep any moisture out.

 

I didn’t realize how angled those drills are, the shop has a 12v version of that drill with a messed up clutch and dead batteries. I was going to fix it…broke a damn hex key in the screw for the chuck, fml. Not a bad drill for the age, good job not letting it hit the trash bin.

 

Have you considered trying a Ryobi battery for those? Worth a shot on the next one.
