Is this safe to use in a corded drill for the shower and sinks? Or do we need to go and buy a cordless drill.

Personally I would not have a problem utilizing a corded drill with the drill-brush in a bathtub/shower, but that's just me. Maybe you would feel more comfortable using a cordless drill, and it is more convenient as you don't have a cord getting in your way.If you're concerned about water issues with the electric drill simply wet down the tub/shower prior to bringing the drill into the area tub/shower area; use the drill-brush, remove it from the area and rinse the tub/shower area out.Hope this helps!

After using it a few times, there are definitely better alternatives. I've since found Barkeepers Friend liquid cleaner and a regular scotch pad works just as well if not better. This is a pretty large and cumbersome brush and you have to fight the drill to keep it under control. That being said, you could definitely use a corded drill but if there is no way on your drill to dial down the speed, you're going to be fighting the drill a lot.

I wouldn't feel safe using a corded drill around water. I didn't like the brush and drill concept, it was cumbersone and hard on the wrists. I bought a battery operated scrubber called Quickie at Walmart for $19.97. Amazon may also sell it. Don't buy another drill save your money for other things.

Shock hazard? I don't think you will have the shower running when you are cleaning.

I would imagine as long as the shower or sink is turned off I suppose so. I personally wouldn't use anything electric around running water since that creates a grounding path, and could cause an electrocution. I used a cordless drill since that's what I had. It doesn't make a big wet mess behind the head but rotationally it can spray a lot.

Of course you can use this in a corded drill. You'll be able to run it much longer and have more power vs. a cordless. Works great in the shower BTW.

IMO, this is the only cordless set that provides the power of corded tools. You are trading the convenience of losing the cords with the inconvenience of added weight. The right tool for the right job is always the way to go. I tend to reach for my cordless tools (I own extensive 18 and 36v tools) than my corded ones for most tasks.

It's made of plastic and steel. A corded drill would probably work as long as it is reversible

We have owned three of them. They work great with a cordless drill. We hooked it up to an electric drill and it broke. We think the electric drill was too powerful. Not for sure tough. They are mostly made of some type of metal.

This what I found about any 18V drill "If your just drilling a small hole (1/4" or less) and you're drilling no more than 5 inches deep then the 18v drill will probably be just fine. However, if you get any bigger than that I'd recommend getting a bigger (corded) drill".

i use a dewalt cordless drill, (any cordless drill will do ( just as long as ithe chuck size is: either 3/8" or 1/2". i use it mainly putting in grass plugs. works great. just control the speed because it really digs fast. greg

Use a cordless drill and the end of the rod fits securely directly in your drill. No special bit is required.

The unit can be used in the shower BUT water will get into the inner housing. It will eventually erode the motor and stop working. We used ours daily and the motor rusted out within 6 months. I took it apart and there was no saving the unit.

Sure. I used a 3/8 inch cordless drill and did fine. However, depending on the size hole you are drilling be sure to use a drill with enough power. I had to take be careful not to push mine too hard as it started to overheat.

A normal 18v cordless drill with battery attached would be a tight fit. Could easily fit with battery detached. A corded drill should fit in there yes

A drill press is really the way to go if you can lay the material flat. Otherwise, any corded drill is really better for large hole saws than a cordless

I have both. The corded has by far the most power. It is bigger and heavier. I use the cordless around the house for small jobs and the corded for drilling steel and rotary files

It definitely says on the tag attached to the cord NOT to use the cord for this shaver in the shower. Just common sense will tell you never to do that with any cord anyway. :)

That's what I used for. used a battery (cordless) drill even got the stain off the floor pan in the shower use a good cleaner and it works

I just used mine to clear a 2" vacuum line with no issues. Worked just fine with my Milwaukee cordless drill. It is the first one I have found that will go around the tight elbows in central vacuum pipe. Can't speak as to how it will hold up since this is the first time I have used it.

I used the brush on a fiberglass shower stall and I couldn't see any ill effects. Battery powered drill was used for this.
