Title: $40.00 power conversion for 2 frame extractor
Post by: wouldliketobee on September 13, 2015, 02:50:11 AM
It may not be worth it to some people but I found a spade handle high torque low speed drill at Menard's with a 5/8 chuck that fits perfect on my 2 frame extractor shaft. Tried it and it works well , way better than hand cranking.It was $ 39.99 on sale.

Hand cranked myself for a few years, then I burned up my Craftsman drill after only 3 years. Then I purchased a used extractor that broke down and purchased a motorized extractor.  I am just a slow learner. -Mike
