|  Cordless Drill Motor
has anybody tried using a cordless drill motor? I was playing with a cordless at work and was wondering what would happen if you used its motor for crawling. I looked in the grainger catologue and the claim you can get parts from them for any major power tool.

it would probly be real strong but u would need a lot of cells to run it depending on the drill, some are 18volts.
