Drill for turning necks

Well, my trusty old Hitachi drill that I use for turning necks has given up the ghost. Just finished searching for a replacement and I came up with nothing. The Hitachi had, on the trigger, a small knob that you adjusted the speed of the drill with. It was great for turning necks because no matter how hard I pressed the trigger the drill always ran at the set speed. Do you have any thoughts were I could find such an animal? Would prefer cordless but, could do with a corded one.

Not sure its the same model, but i have 2 of these. One in loading room, the other for annealing in the kitchen. I can sell you 1 of mine, I really dislike to memory cord. I have other corded tools the cord is limp, not this drill.

Guys thanks for all the PM's on this. I searched and couldn't find what I needed so I posted my need and you folks found what I couldn't. Got another PM from Ackleyman11 and he found some nice ones on Ebay. So, of course I had to another one. Now I have 2 coming!!
 
I'm glad you posted something. I searched for a variable/fixed power drill and never did find one.

My Dewalt is great I think it's done well over 200 cases without needing a charge, but it's heavy and hangs off the lathe, and sometimes I get bursts in speed trimming faster than I want.

I'll be getting one of these Hitachi's also.

Rest in peace old green one
 
Once you use a case lathe driver like that you wont ever use a drill again. The benchrite motor sold by benchrite and pma is the one on the market everybody uses now
 
Just asking...I wonder what the life is, of, the on/off switch on the Benchrite? Not that I would probably ever exceed it. I have got to stop looking at that thing!! I want to buy tires for my Jeep!
 
Its just a simple toggle switch. Once it goes out grab another for $5 at autozone. I bet itll last longer than a drill on off switch.
