Do you have to connect it to a mains electricity power source to make it work ?<br />Answer is of course 'No' so by definition you have a Cordless Screwdriver or Drill. In the end it is a question of choosing the correct tool (powered or otherwise) for the task.<br /><br />Oh and for the fiddly brass manifold casting as a first choice I would go for a drill in a pin chuck. If for no other reason than that if the drill slips it will do a lot less damage to the fingers holding the casting.<br /><br />GeoffGeoffhttp://fifteenflatout.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20340207.post-72601726881116032962016-08-26T11:29:30.910+00:002016-08-26T11:29:30.910+00:00Hmmm...

I find it so much more controllable, plus you get some feeling if something is obstructing progress and then time to do something about it...a good idea if you are drilling into a wall that might have a pipe in it. <br /><br />I generally use the hand drill for woodwork as well though, I just find it more satisfying. Maybe I am weird too?Paul Cnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20340207.post-75799150975747135202016-08-25T06:22:54.475+00:002016-08-25T06:22:54.475+00:00No you aren't.
