[D. Day]

Bill, what a great idea.  I'm surprised someone has not marketed a kit for 
this.

I have a couple of old cordless drills where it just wasn't cost
effective to replace the batteries.
I discarded the old batteries and wired in a piece of extension cord
and added a couple of battery clips.
Now I have a drill that will work off of the tractor or truck battery.
They may run faster or slower depending on what the original voltage
was but they still work out in the field.
