[quote 123ups]Honestly, No , I just built the thing and haven't tried it on my tube yet. I did try it in my garden pond and I was amazed on how much thrust it had. I know a 14.4 volt cordless with a charged battery will run quite awhile. Granted not continously.[/quote]
That was my first impression, that the battery wouldn't last. I have messed around with wrapping rods for the past year or so, and use my cordless drill to turn hypalon grips. I also had to use it to drill some holes in my boat trailer (about 1/8" steel, 4 holes). I have come to the conclusion that I need to own a corded drill for jobs where I need a drill to run for any extended period of time (anything longer than drilling wood or screwing things in).
Hopefully I'm wrong though. Let us know how it goes.
