Hi
I just got the drill driver. I tried to clean the stairs but I found the problem is when I push down hard the drill stops. if I push down lightly then it doesn't clean. what kind of tool do you use?


thanks

Get a good drill with a side handle attachment.

This is the one I like best for using with the Drill Driver and FiberPlus pads.
It's a DeWalt - available from Sears for $99...

Hi Rick, I recently ordered your drill driver and I own a challenger stair tool as well. What are the key differences? Is it good to own both? I was thinking mostly about using it for upholstry and commercial cube panels.

Good price!

$30??

Might as well buy several - at that price they're almost disposable.

We use a Makita similar product, but I paid $250 or so. Either I wuz had or this is a very 'lite' version, I suspex the latter.

Still, it's so cheap it might make sense to get a couple and see if they last half as long or work just as well.

Yes, they are cheap and they don't last. Invest in something nice. It'll be worth the $$ in the long run.
