Ha ! ;-) I've got a set-up like that. One of the better features
of inexpensive drills with pretty good chucks and gearboxes
is that when the cheap as s*** battery dies you've still got a
pretty good chuck and gearbox left. And at the price who
would feel any remorse cannibalising a chuck that can take a
very small bit and fits in a bench press

At one time I collected a pile of thrown-out battery drills and
re-jigged the motors and gearboxes as curtain pullers. Tough
little things and they work marvellously. On the to-do list for
them are as solar panel trackers and a large semi-mechanical
clock
