Hello,
I recently bought a Millwaukee 7amp hammer drill. I made the purchase because I needed more torque (not for the hammering feature). Since the drill was a two-speed, I figured speed '1' would be nice and slow with lots of torque. In actuallity, the thing- even on 1- takes off like a jet. Indeed, it's hard for me to tell much difference at all between the two speeds. Though it is "variable speed", there is such a fine line between slow and jet engine fast that it is extremely difficult to hold the trigger down at just the right depth and hold it there (and balance the heavy thing).
So my question is this: is there a way to slow it down? I am thinking of something like a dimmer switch but obviously more robust(I have one for a lamp at home that you plug the lamp into and then into the socket).
In hindsight, I have found that what I really needed was a slow speed drill. But I thought that two speed was going to do the work of a slow speed and a high speed. I was wrong and it's too late to return. Anyone have any thoughts?
