Neck turning drill/power source

Currently using a K and M neck turner and the power adapter for a drill. The bosch drill I'm currently using, it's a bit clunky and isn't particularly easy to keep the same speed etc. Is there anything out there, maybe an electric screwdriver, that will cater to the application of neck turning.

Thanks
Josh
 
I just started using this one ( $25 )because it can charge anywhere and only weighs a few ounces. I used a friends and was able to screw a 1.5" drywall screw into wood so it has some power and is cheap. I wanted a lightweight driver to drill holes for trail camera mounts and bow hangers in tree stands without carrying a big battery drill. Can also charge it in the car. I did 100 .30 cal necks the other night on one charge and my wrist wasn't sore like it usually is from using the Makita Lithium ion

If you go for the electric screwdriver driver, ( which I use) get the one with a chuck on the end. Some of them the bits can just pull out, which won't be good pulling the case back out of the Turner.
There not a chuck like a drill. But you pull the top back, which locks the bits in.
I need a second one, I'm liking the Ryobi one. Bright green.
 
I bought two Black and Decker rechargeable electric screwdrivers. While one is turning the other can be charging. I use the PMA case holders and driver and the Forster hand held turning tool. I'm happy with this arrangement. Speed regulation seems easy.
 
I use a corded electric drill plugged into a router speed control. Just pull the trigger and lock it, adjust speed with control.
 
I use a corded dewalt drill, I flip it upside down and lock it in a vice and use a C-clamp to lock the trigger at the speed I want. Works amazingly well.

Hitachi D10VH corded 3/8 drill.
Only one I found which allows rpm adjustment after locking the trigger.
Clamped to my bench or whatever you like makes a variable speed power source.
I found them at Lowes for $49.00

+1 ^^^^^ been using one for 6 or 7 yrs. and still running strong. Any tool that can be chucked up speeds production.
 
Black and Decker screw driver....WalMart used to have them. I got mine at a B&D outlet store. Runs on 4 AA batteries. Been using the original for over 10 years. Had to buy the wife one since she saw me using mine so often sitting in front of the TV she just had to have one for her pink tool box.
