This drill is good, but the best drill for this application would be the Flex 24v Hammer Drill from Lowes. Make sure it's their most powerful one. It has a turbo mode that brings it to 2800rpm and peak torque comes in at 117ft lbs or 1400 inch lbs.
@@1979Spica You do realize the alternative is a gas engine, right? The idea of a drill powered propeller would be an alternative to a small dinghy engine. Otherwise, most people would go buy an old smokey Tohatsu 2.5hp 2 stroke that sounds like a 70s moped. The drill is a lightweight, portable alternative to an outboard. Also, small outboard motors peak at 5000-6000rpm. 2800rpm in comparison is slow (like a diesel). However, the 2000rpm peak speed that most drills have is ridiculously slow. 2800rpm will at least get you to jogging speed instead of walking speed.
@@1979Spica But yes, if you think a drill will disturb the fish, I'll just use a 2 cycle outboard motor. That's fine with me. Can't beat an ol screamin 2 stroke.
@@grimthreeper4112 Metabo does have slightly more torque, but only tops out at 2100rpm. Flex still has a 700rpm advantage, which is a 33% higher redline. It's a tiny boat. You don't need a ton of torque, just more revs.
After spending several hours watching RUclips videos all about small outboards - 2.5 to 3.5 hp and comparing them to electric motors for my Intex Mariner 4, I happen upon your video. But I'm in Canada, so the exact same rig on Amazon up here is $600. Fortunately, my daughter lives in Florida, and we're vacationing in Naples FL this winter, so I'll be buying it Stateside.
I live in Ontario Canada and I just looked up the exact same item on Amazon Canada and it's listed at $163.58 with free delivery. I don't know where in Canada you are but it definitely isn't $600 now.
I built my own boat out of foamular sheets, and I'm tired of paddling already. I'm going to have to give this a look I already have the drill and I have four of the jumbo batteries. I'm glad I ran into this
I'm going to figure that out. I've got the folding Tucktec Kayak, which isn't set up for a trolling motor... but this I can see filling that gap perfectly! Thanks
@@greyscout01 Those things are sinking time bomb. They are very dangerous in the winter time even heard of some people drowning from hypothermia because they all collapse at one point. They collapse at the seams. I was super close to buying one until i read the horror stories on reddit. I went with a different vessel one that i will showcase on my channel. It's better than a foldable kayak in every single way, and it fits in my backpack. From what i can tell they start to collapse at around 24-40 uses.
@freshandsaltyjohnny Haven't heard those stories. Can't imagine how they'd just collapse. Once they are locked into position, they are solid. No less than your average budget kayak. I've had mine a couple of years and a couple of dozen uses . Don't see anything like that happening. Naturally, anything man-made can fail, but using mine, and inspecting closely how they're built, it just doesn't seem plausible.
Gute Idee nehmt aber einen Akkuschrauber mit Hochwertigen Getriebe aus Metall kein Billig Schrauber mit Plastik Getriebe . da wirken Enorme Kräfte auf das Planetengetriebe .
@Joe_Regular_Schmoe Some states only require certain horsepower. So its legal to run these paddle drills. Some require any motorized. It varies. I did some research on it.
If you're in construction and already own various drills and loads of battery's sure this can work if you just bought the prop and shaft piece. Otherwise just get a trolling motor and a lithium battery.
On the drill there is a lock button that keeps the drill ingaged.but that's ok. Love the vidges keep them coming and we will keep watching till next time tight lines buddy 😊
A lock on a drill would be dangerous that's a horrible idea lol now an rpm slide would be nice but usually only corded have those. Cordless just have gearing.
The amount of people upset with me because I make other content then just the bass Cat is sad.. Shows who’s really here to support me and my channel...
@@TightlineTV It's not about you making other content. It's about continuity. I think people are annoyed because you jump back and forth. That's the case with me at least. If you start the bass cat then finish the bass cat and move on to something else and that would've been fine. But you keep jumping back and fort between boat build and clickbait content and that's annoying. You also might want to look at who your audience is. A lot of people subscribed to you because you seemed like a pretty serious channel with good content about boat building and upgrading but then you went with "amazon challenge" where you buy cheap BS from Amazon to test. That might be cool with the younger audience that like brainless stuff but your audience seems to be more serious people wanting to learn stuff that you show them. I can say that you inspired me to buy EVA flooring for my boat and the result turned out amazing. The upgrade made my boat a million times better. That's what I at least subscribed for and if your goal was to inspire someone to make something that you make then you succeeded with me. But if your goal is to have clickbait videos about buying cheap stuff then I unfortunately am not the audience for that. I have a very limited time where I can watch videos on youtube because I have work and I like to spend my free time in the real world and not on a computer so I am very picky about who I give my time to. If the content is not for me then I respectfully thank for the time and I move on. Just like I did with you. I hope my critique was constructive enough and not just random ramble.
I really appreciated the video, the silliess, the fishing etc., and I'm 71. My favourite RUclips homesteader got all political so we don't watch them as much. But viewers demand variety as well as consistency.

Metabo kills flex and metabo is water proof

Absolutely sick Try a bilge pump on a solar panel runs all day
there's a lot more kayaks out there than jon boats ...... how to attach?

Dude the wake from that motor is toats gnar gnar bo bo!!!
Hey what lure/bait are you using?
But how long did the battery last?
Do you need to register to boat to use this?
That depends on your location. In my state a boat that is powered by anything other than man power has to be licensed.

It seemed kinda loud lol but if it could be configured some into a trolling motor it’d be the fast thing on the market lol
I swear everything electric is loud hahah
@@TightlineTV definitely beats me lmao
Tem o link?
how fast is that thing VS a 30 tolling minkota you think?
I’d say similar
Good idea cheap for the difference tip of jobs it able to do
Make it work with a battery powered rotozip, zooom
Chrcked for it on amazon now. Like 35$ now😮
I rather hear about the bass cat I don't care about anything else but the bass cat I want to see it running have a blessed day brother 🙏
Bass cat takes time, gotta have some fun inbetween hahah. You to 👊🏻
How long was the total runtime with both batteries?
On the drill there is a lock button that keeps the drill ingaged.but that's ok. Love the vidges keep them coming and we will keep watching till next time tight lines buddy 😊
Not on this drill that I noticed haha

damn,yall catchin'
That was so much fun!
The hammer on the cotter pin had me cringing lol
All I had handy 😂
@@TightlineTV Use your hands, you're supposed to bend the ends opposite directions
@@Burgahs101thing was thick as heck. I tried first trust me lol
What, you don't carry a knife.
Doubles as a margarita mixer.
Put a bigger drill on it
nice catch
I think it's time for us to part ways. Good luck with everything.

can't fine it on amazon
No longer available :/
I just checked tonight and they have 11 in sock.
How weird was it?
your angle with the prop into water is to steep
Looks like it takes Makita batteries.
If its drill powered you bought an attachment with 0 power..its not a motor and its not high power either
Seems like a gimmic item
pimp mcdaddy
This fake motor drill
188v not exists
IF your finger hurt means get to work do real work, just saying....
