    hitachi cordless drill shell/housing

    ds 14dvfs 14.4v cordless driver drill

    I was using my roommates drill
    then my other roommate pushes it off the back of my truck
    the frame cracks around the bottom of the grip and now the contacts wont hold to the battery
    at least not without a ziptie there.

    any idea how i can go about getting a new frame? maybe buy a broken drill at the flea market?
    are drills easy to fix? i really am a noobie at fixing things since i grew up in a throw-away-when-broken culture



    ideas?

    me and the roomie are each giving him 25$ towards him buying a new drill since he didnt like this one. and im going to keep this one and all the parts. i needed a drill anyways.

    If it moves and should not, duct tape it. If it does not move and should, wd-40. With that being said, I would super glue it, zip tie it, duct tape it, and use it. Good luck.

    I second the suggestion from jghilino. Epoxy is good stuff.

    Or use some JB Weld, they guarantee it. Before you use it, bevel the edges around the crack, gives better gripping for the JB.
