The 12V Trail Drill
 

Update 10/27/2005:  I got an e-mail from Ron Crumpler who had just completed his 12V trail drill conversion.  Here is a picture he sent along.  Looks like it was a successful conversion!  Thanks for the pic! 

Update 11/26/2005:  I got a PM from Troy Woodall (aka., River Rat on JU) who finished his trail drill after scoring a DeWalt 12V drill at a local flea market.  Here is a picture of his project.  Looks like it also was a successful conversion!  Troy filled the void in the handle with 3 pounds of glue from a hot glue gun (or maybe it was 3 sticks....either way, it was a BUNCH!)  Congrats to Troy on recycling yet another old drill.

Update 08/01/2006:  I got an e-mail from Andrew Skaggs the other day.  He included a picture of his recently converted 12V drill.  It was on the Lowes' clearance table for $7 (less the battery).  The cables were $6 and a bit of time in the garage to put it all together.....you can't beat that price for a new 12V drill, ready for the trail!
