Could you adapt an electric drill to operate it instead of the crank?

I've seen some one do it on you tube. Also I read some where trailer valet is working on an accessory to do this.

I'm very happy with it . It east to install and easy to use . I have a rpod which is very small but I have a uphill narrow driveway. I recomend it

It would be simple enough to rig an adapter to accept an electric drill but honestly it would make it harder, not easier to use. Going uphill really requires some torque on the crank handle. You still have to brace the torque if you are using a drill, just now you are using a shorter lever (the drill handle). What you would save in cranking energy you would lose in trying to brace the drill from spinning out of your hand. On level ground, this thing is very easy to use and a drill would be a solution looking for a problem.In short, use it as is. A drill would not be worth using.

Making an adapter to fit the drill chuck and Valet shaft might work using a high torque drill on low speed. Haven"t found 5/8 square stock to fit shaft.

Yes but the speed is probably way to high and when you lower it you lose a lot of torque so it's far from ideal. A drill capable of 2-4000 rpm would be better.

I never tried to do that, but a standard drill chuck should be able to get a good "grip" on it since the end is flat on one side.

It's got a manual crank, but honestly you won't be able to crank it enough by hand to do much. It's just has too much diameter and length for hand-cranking. I think if you need a 1/2 by 50-footer you also need a machine to feed and rotate; wish I'd had a better idea about that before I bought mine.

Not in the way you're asking. I mean, I'm left-handed and I can use it fine, but there is no way to assemble it so that the crank is on the left side. You could hold it upside-down or backwards and crank it towards you, as well.

It's possible, with the correct drill bit. With a little experimenting I'm sure you could make it work.

You can buy cheap attachments for an electric drill. I recommend that instead. MJ

unfortunately, no you cannot. The drill can be disassembled and you can access the battery but it is soldered to a circuit board and will need to be professionally replaced.

You could but wouldn't be happy with the results, I would only recommend using with a drill press. A drill guide is another cheaper alternative but this looks like a good reason to buy your drill press.

It may be possible with a special drill bit. I have seen it done, but not specifically with this one.

You know I don't believe you can attach a motor to the hand crank model. We just use muscle power and it works fine.w

not very practical for a battery driven dremel, but I would guess its doable

You sure can! However, you will want to put that drill into a drill press. I have used it in a drill without a drillpress, and it is extremely hard to handle and it wobbles, which could cause it to break and be potentially dangerous!

My recommendation would be a variable power drill either corded or cordless that you can put a hose clamp on to vary the speed. They have a much greater range of variance without damage to the motor.

Yes you could use that crank it will work. You will need a new bottom bracket. And your gearing will change

No because the end of the bit that fits in the drill needs to be the exact size and shape of the slot on the drill. There is no way to adjust the size of the slot like on a standard drill.
