Car Forum / Driving, Maintenance, Tuning / RVs / May 2006Electric Drill to Raise a Popup
It was from advice on this newsgroup several years ago that I bought a Bosch Model 33618 cordless drill having 550 in-pounds of torque*, but as we get older, we usually find ourselves opting for campsites having water and electric service (plus cable connection and WIFI service if available)! Therefore, I'm considering the purchase of a "corded" AC drill with similar torque but in looking at specs find many with no mention of torque. Question-What's a good drill with no less torque than the Bosch? *Pictures at: http://www.pbase.com/bfreeman/coleman_popup_camperlift_with_drill&page=all Bob Freeman Tallahassee, Florida Coleman 2000 Westlake Jeep Cherokee, 1993, 2WD At www.boschtools.com, they list their corded drills and the torque. The only one with at least 550 in-lbs of torque is the 1034VSR, which has 767 in-lbs. It lists about $150, though. Here are some useful formulae: Torque (in-lb) = hp x 63025 /rpm kW = 1.341 hp. Some drills list their "output power" in watts. So, a drill with 500 watts of output power = 0.550 x 1.341 = .738 hp. at 100 rpm: .738hp x 63025/100 = 465 in-lb of torque at 80 rpm: .738hp x 63025/80 = 581 in-lb HTH tobe It was from advice on this newsgroup several years ago that I bought a Bosch Model 33618 cordless drill having 550 in-pounds of torque*, but as we get older, we usually find ourselves opting for campsites having water and electric service (plus cable connection and WIFI service if available)!

Question-What's a good drill with no less torque than the Bosch? Why would you go to the trouble of a corded drill? When setting up, takes time, why have to drag a power cord around and if muddy, deal with a nasty cord? I bought the Bosch 1034VSR because (1) in case the cordless fails again and (2) in case my shoulder/rotator cup acts up.
