The Pullstarter by NEUCO Limited transforms the way you start small engines, replacing hard pull cords with the squeeze of a trigger. But to get the best results, pairing your Pullstarter with the right cordless drill is essential. Here’s what you need to know before you choose a drill.
Recommended Drill Specifications
To operate smoothly and safely, your drill should meet these requirements:
Voltage: 18V–22V cordless drill (most common household and contractor-grade drills fit this range).
Speed (RPM): A top speed of 1,800–2,300 RPM ensures strong, consistent starts.
Torque: Medium to high torque drills work best, delivering enough power without straining the motor.
Control: A variable speed trigger is highly recommended for smoother starts.
Why These Specs Matter
The Pullstarter converts the rotational force of your drill into the pulling motion needed to start your engine. Using the right drill ensures:
Reliable starts, even in cold weather.
Less stress on both the drill and the Pullstarter.
Safer operation by preventing over-speeding or underpowering.
Examples of Suitable Drills
Some popular models that work well with The Pullstarter include:
Makita DHP458 (18V, 2000 RPM)
DeWalt DCD996 (20V MAX, 2,250 RPM)
Milwaukee M18 Fuel Drill/Driver (18V, 2,000 RPM)
These drills are widely available, powerful, and durable — making them great companions for your Pullstarter.
Tips for Choosing the Best Drill
Stick with a trusted brand for reliability and long-term performance.
Invest in high-capacity batteries (4.0Ah or higher) for longer run time, especially in cold weather.
If you already own a drill, check the specs — chances are, it may already be compatible.
For frequent users, consider a brushless motor drill for extra efficiency and durability.
Bottom Line
Your Pullstarter works best with a solid 18V–22V cordless drill that hits the sweet spot of speed and torque. The right drill not only ensures effortless starts but also protects your investment in both tools.
