wow, this has been an eye opener!

my 3/8" drill is old, and while i may give it a try, i'm going to bail as soon as it shows any signs of not liking it. it's a perfect little drill for 90% of what i need to do, so i don't need to ruin it or send it on it's way to ruination just to prime one engine.

i'm also going to give it a shot by hand and see how that goes. from the sounds of it, i won't need the 1/2", although as posted earlier, hard to get through life without a good 1/2"
