I have an older drill that I carry with me so I didn't have any issues with it.
I know these systems aren't CHEAP but it's a nice thing to have when things break.
What power tools can I use with the control unit?
non-fluorescent lighting and brush-type power tools: grinders, drills, saws, and blenders, frying pans, blow driers, etc.
- We have tested an know any AC brush-driven hand tool (i.e., grinders, saws, sanders)
- The George Forman grill, Electric Fry Pans, Coffee Pots and Blenders.
Is there any 110-volt tool the unit will NOT power?
Any tool with a variable-speed motor will need to have the trigger pulled fully, the reason being that variable-speed switches are based on pulsating DC current; the Premier is based on a straight DC current. Therefore, it wants to travel through the variable-speed switch at full current. We do not recommend the use of this type of tool with the unit as it will eventually result in a burned-up trigger. The ONLY drill that we know of with a variable-speed trigger that will work with our unit and not burn out the trigger is the 3/8" or 1/2" Milwaukee Holeshooter.
