I have an older B&D electric drill with a hedge trimmer attachment. It is quite heavy so I don't use it, I bought a newer dedicated trimmer instead. I was thinking about making a drill out of this again. Cutting a hedge must equal a lot of drilling but It seems healthy and the bearings not worn out.
The chuck has been lost by the previous owner but I am wondering if I can transplant the chuck from a broken drill I have somewhere?
Removing the trimmer attachment did not make me any wiser
I don't see how the chuck would be mounted on the spindle... Is the drill missing some crusial part? I have never changed a drill chuck so I have no clue.
