My day to day set of cordless tools are a combi drill, jigsaw and circular saw from Lidl, all of which share the same 18v battery. I also bought a couple of spares.
I also have an 18v Wickes cordless drill (think made by Kress) which has a very useful right angle drive with it. Which fixes to the body (fast release chuck which gets transferred) So more of a piece than a universal right hand drive.
Of course the batteries on the Wickes are now knackered. Had one re-celled, and that does still sort of work, but was never as good as the originals power wise even when just done.
I've obtained a knackered Lidl drill for not a lot.
Idea is to cut off the battery plate and fit it to the Wickes drill so I can use the Lidl Li-Ion batteries.
Choices are.
Cut the battery plate off the Wickes drill and replace with the Lidl one. Sounds tricky.
Cut a Wickes battery down and fit the Lidl plate to that. So an adaptor.
Any thoughts? What sort of glue and filler would be best?
Probably a job for a decent 3D printer - but I ain't got one.
Obviously I could just by a pukka right angle drill - but they are a hell of a price, and I've already got too many different batteries and chargers.
