drill brush

June 11 2008 at 3:35 PM		Bill Youmans 
hi everyone,
does a simple cordless drill have enough power when it comes to using the drill brush?

Also, had a theater call and ask about cleaning the seats in the theater, it's alot of seats, was thinking in the range of $3 a seat, but never done a job like that before, is that low, high, if anyone has any input would love to hear it.

thanks
Bill Y

Simple cordless drill? Yes, it will work. But keep in mind that the battery pack is heavy. Cordless drills are more expensive. And they have a limited range.

I've always used cheap corded drills for large jobs. And since their cheap, it won't hurt too much if I burn it up. A cheap drill is also lighter, which makes 'em easier to work with on a large job.

$3 a seat for theater chairs is too cheap IMHO. I'd go closer to $5, and that's still a bargain. Keep in mind, they will be FILTHY.

They most likely want them done cheaper then $3 a seat
$5 is probably out of the ball park for them.

One bids like this I ask what is in their budget to do this job, many times they will tell you the price per they are willing to give. It also depends on the theater and if you are working direct or not

personally I use a microfiber mitt dip it in a very warm solution and go to town. For me it is quicker in those instances where you can get a little spillage with out worrying.
