what is it made of? and must a cordless drill be used, or can an electric drill be used?

We have owned three of them. They work great with a cordless drill. We hooked it up to an electric drill and it broke. We think the electric drill was too powerful. Not for sure tough. They are mostly made of some type of metal.

Hi, it is made of a high-strength plastic and it works just fine on a cordless. I'm actually quite impressed with the riveter and the company. One of my students dropped the riveter while mounted on the drill and broke the shaft, completely our fault but the president of the company responded to my request for repair parts and sent an entire new riveter.

The outside is plastic. There are metal components inside. Any kind of drill will work.

It's made out of plastic. And I use it with my electric drill or my impact. If you use daily you need to be careful when popping rivets. I broke my rivet gun already. Just make sure you oil it daily

It is plastic and steel. Any drill will work. I was very impressed with its ease of use. Sometimes the pulled shank can be a little difficult to remove (like any rivet gun). Ingenious tool if you are doing more than just a few rivets at a time.

Made externally of a heavy plastic type or composite. Works very well with my Ryobi cordless. I'm sure an electric drill will work fine. A drill that does not need a chuck key would work best.

It's made of plastic and steel. A corded drill would probably work as long as it is reversible

In this instance, "bare tool" means no battery, no charger, no case, no accessories. If you already have the right Bosch batteries and charger, buying this bare tool makes sense. Otherwise, buying the kit makes more sense and is often the cheapest way to get what you need. I will say it is the best cordless drill I have owned. I have had Makita and DeWalt in the past and they just don't measure up to the Bosch.

This tool is on a job, so I don't have it in front of me to answer the question. I can tell you that it is a good quality tool, actually on the heavy duty side, and is a good choice for portable 1/2" drilling of any material. It does not burn through batteries as some portable tools do. The chuck is well made. We use it in construction, and we don't like flimsy tools.

this is a corded hundred and 20 volt drill you will need to get a cordless one and they do make it an 18 volt

No! You need to use masonry bits, as they have a carbide tip on the working end. If you force it too much, using a spade bit, you could really screw up your drill...battery, or corded.

Typically a powered screwdriver (cordless or not) does not have the RPMs needed for cutting. Although it may fit your device it most likely will not leave a clean cut as it would tear the wood due to spinning slowly. Obviously a drill is your best bet, but you may be able to use a rotary saw or Dremel since they have the high RPMs and torque needed. You can rent a drill pretty cheap at your local home improvement store.

No, it is not cordless! You can purchase the foreign adapter plugs used for all of your other electrical stuff!

Actually, any quality brand will do. I use an 18v Dewalt cordless driver as well as a Dewalt power drill. If you choose a cordless, make sure you have one or two replacement batteries on hand. They will lose their charge relatively quickly and will have to be recharged.

If you need true heavy duty, I would get a corded drill. This drill does slip the bits but overall does very well for a backup.

Like I said before, I would recommend a drill. It was really difficult when I tried using a screw driver at first. You don't need anything fancy, though. Mine was just a little chargeable mini drill.

A drill press is really the way to go if you can lay the material flat. Otherwise, any corded drill is really better for large hole saws than a cordless

Most any drill, especially cordless will not reach the speeds that most dremel tools need. They don't have the range of speeds either. Some tools might work well, but not many.

NONE - it isn't electric - Not even described as one in the info. about it ~ ~

It is plastic but a good hard plastic! The drill is great and the hard case that comes with it is very good, you will be happy with this drill

You'll need to buy a battery and charger. $100 for the battery and the charger is around $50 or so. I'm a carpenter and all my cordless power tools are majors. That's why I wasn't concerned that it didn't come with a battery. If your looking to buy a cordless power tool I would buy a 2 piece majors drill and driver kit. You'll get a charger 2 batteries and a drill and impact driver for around $299. If you do the math your basically getting the drills almost for free. I love my seedeater. It really does run for a good 40 mins. Hope this helped.

I do not know since I bought it for a hand held application and I do not have that type of drill. Sorry.

Julie, I use both a cordless battery powered drill and a corded electric drill. Battery for small quick jobs and the corded for longer duration jobs like grout and tile cleaning a large bathroom. Hope this helps! : )
