I have bought a padlock and it says "drill pilot holes for the screws. Use 3.5mm drill bit." But I don't have one of those at the moment! Can I usse a 3mm or a 4mm one instead?

Thanks.

I have a chance to buy a 10 year old, but never used, still in the original box, cordless drill. Will it still take & hold a charge?

As Americans we've gotten flabby about what has traditionally made us strong, the right to exercise free speech.

The health of our children, the vigor of our communities, the survival of this nation - in fact, the centuries-old American wager on liberty and good faith - depends on the courage to exercise, once again, the right to criticize piggish politicians who don't want to hear what you, as an American citizen, have to say.

This nation started out in protest against despots. How is it that they've found their way back into our government? And why do we, as a nation whose light to the world has been the compact of certain inalienable rights, held in trust by concrete constitutional freedoms, allow them to continue to chop the limbs off Lady Liberty while tearing the stomach out of the rest of the world?
Our light is going out. Our freedoms are dying. Before long we will lament the days long past when we could freely celebrate our independence as citizens.

The world, in fact, and Europe especially - the mother of our ideals for freedom and the one-time admirer of our determination to live by them - gawks in wonderment at our sleepy complacency, at our flabby discontent, and at our prescribed willingness to tolerate and endure the irreparable stupidity of our leaders.
When will we finally wake up to the fact that our president is a buffoon? That his advisors and corporate bedfellows, who fund modern revolutions at home and abroad, are shameless crooks who laugh at the misery of working-class people everywhere, but especially at those who trusted in them for their guidance and pledges to protect their future?

Do we really need another Enron to awaken us to the fact that George W. Bush, Barak Obama and the buzzards who support their waspish bloodsucking with our hard-earned money, would as much drill a hole in our ass as they would a pipeline through Afghanistan and the Arctic Wilderness, or a billion tons of arsenal into the heart of Iraq or Iran or maybe Yemen even?
Americans, led by the Pied Piper of penury and political corruption, have marched right alongside the Doopus Domus Potis (the Dopey Despot) of the New World Order to the precipice of lost liberty.

We peer into an Orphean abyss of a great love lost, liberties betrayed because of our own failure as American citizens to govern ourselves, to right our government and protect our freedoms against hoodlums who steal elections, spit on civil rights and piss on starving mothers.

The American Revolution didn't stop with the cessation of hostilities against England. The revolution is ongoing. It ends only when men and women in government respect the rights of its people, by guaranteeing and, in fact, encouraging their right to speak out, to criticize irresponsible leadership, to hold their government accountable for its failures and actions.

Who, by the way, is accountable for the Herculean failure to detect the heinous plot to fly commercial airliners into the public marketplace? Was it the FBI, the White House or the CIA?....WHO????
So, scrap the national leaders. Forget them. Let's take the burden of thorough irresponsibility and total unworthiness upon ourselves as citizens of the United States, and pledge our hopes and dreams to the protection of our constitutional right to say, "You stink, Mr. Cheney, Mr Bush, Mr Obama etc etc etc."

Woody Guthrie put the jingle in our hearts when we were children, reminding us that we are the inheritors of a great legacy of hope.

This land belongs to you; it belongs to me, it belongs to us,....yes people,....US!

Let's not forget that we have a right as American citizens to demand accountability from our government, to speak out freely against corruption and injustice, to tell guys like Bush or Obama where they can get off, and to elect representatives in touch with working class values and experience.

If Mr Obama and other criminals in the administration attempt to stop us from exercising these constitutional freedoms, we have the right, and the moral and revolutionary imperative of our nation's founding mothers and fathers, to run their asses swiftly out of office!

This is what makes America great and its people strong.
Free your mind and save this Nation by reading OUT LOUD & IN PUBLIC, The Constitution and Bill of RIGHTS!

your thoughts,...

I am tempted to use a few cordless drills to construct an electric motor for a small boat and hook them up to a car battery.

Would that work?

Any brand (maximum GBP 200).

It's a hitachi cordless drill, I thought I knew how but nothing seems to be working.. Help, Please! I'm in the middle of installing a dead bolt on my back door, this is not a good time to be stopping!
Thank you!
Yea, THANK YOU!!! I love being single... not really.. LOL Glad there are guys like you around willing to help. Luv, Suz

Has anybody listened to Em's new song? I think he really might have relapsed. These lyrics make no Fu@#%ng sense! WTF

You can sound the alarm

You can fence in your yard
You can pull all the cards
But I wont back down
Oh no I wont back down

[Verse 1 - Eminem:]
Cadillacs, Coupe Devilles
Brain dead rims yeah stupid wheels
Girl Im too for real

Try to fight it, try to deny it
Stupid you will feel

Shooting from the hip, yeah boy shoot to kill
Half a breath left on my death bed
Screaming F that yeah super ill
Baby what the deal
We can chill, split half a pill and a happy meal
Fuck a stank slut
I cut my toes off and step on the receipt before I foot the bill
Listen garden tool dont make me introduce you to my power tool
You know the fucking drill
How you douche bags feel knowing youre disposable?
Summers eve Massengill
Shadys got the mass appeal baby crank the shit
Cause its your God-damn jam
You say that you want your punchlines a little more compact
Well shawty Im that man
These other cats aint metaphorically where Im at man
I gave Bruce Wayne a Valium and said
Settle ya fuckin ass down Im ready for combat man
Get it calm batman?
Nah, aint nobody whose as bomb and as nuts

Hunny I applaude that ass
Swear to God man these mobs cant dance

[Chorus - Pink]
You can sound the alarm
You can call out your guards
You can fence in your yard
You can pull all the cards
But I wont back down
Oh no I wont back down

[Verse 2 - Eminem:]
Gotta shake that ass like a Donkey with Parkinsons
Make like Michael J Fox in the Jaws playin with a etch-a-sketch
Betcha that youll never guess whos knocking at your door
People hit the floors
Yeah tonight ladies you gon get divorced
Girl forget remorse, Ima hit you broads with
Chriss paws like you pissed him off
Talented with the tongue muthafucker
You aint gotta lick in yours
Hittin licks like Im robbin liquor stores
Makin cash registers shit their draws
Think you spit the raw

Laying on your kitchen floor
Otherwords Im off the meat rack

Bring me two extension chords
Imma measure my dick shit I need 6 inches more
Fuck my dicks big bitch

Better call the cops on em quick fast
Shadys right back on your bitch ass
White trash with a half of six pack in his hatchback
Trailer hitched attached to the back (dispatch)

[Chorus - Pink]
You can sound the alarm
You can call out your guards
You can fence in your yard
You can pull all the cards
But I wont back down
Oh no I wont back down

[Verse 3 - Eminem:]
Bitch am I the reason that your boyfriend stopped rapping
Does a bird chirp, Lil Wayne slurps syrup til he burps
And smokes purp does a wordsearch gets circles wrapped around him like
You do when I come through, Id like you to remind yourself
Of what the fuck I can do when Im on the mic
Or your the kind of girl that I can take a liking to
Psych Im spiking you like a football
Been this way since Ive stood a foot tall
Youre a good catch with a shitty spouse
Got a pretty mouth and a good jaw
Gimme good brain
Watch the wood grain, dont want no cum stain
Bitch you listening tryna turn me down
Slut m talking to you, turn me back up
Are you insane tryna talk over me in the car
Shut the fuck up while my shits playin
Ima shit stain on the underwear of life
Whats they saying? wheres thunder theres light
And they say that it never strikes twice in the same place
Then how the fuck have I been hit six times
In three different locations
On four separate occasions?
And you can bet your stanking ass
That Ive come to smash everything in my path
Fork was in the road took the psychopath
Poison ivy wouldnt have me thinking rash
So hit the dance floor cutie while I do my duty on this microphone
Shake your booty shawty Im the shit
Why you think Proof used to call me Doody

[Chorus - Pink]
You can sound the alarm
You can call out your guards
You can fence in your yard
You can pull all the cards
But I wont back down
Oh no I wont back down
Oh no
I know what it's called, but what the hell, do these lyrics make sense to anybody?

Take factors into consideration:
Speed
Power
Battery life
weight
Price
Whatever I forgot.

I just purchased a 36V DeWalt cordless drill and there is a spark after I release the trigger. Is that normal? I'm assuming it is due the power of the drill, but would like some comments please.
Thank you.
