Any good online merchants that sell the equivalent of cordless drill
motors from 14.4 to 36 volts? Any online stores that sell similarly
powerful DC motors in quantities of one?

Partly out of curiosity. How much would you pay if you had to buy a
motor separately and needed a motor like the following 36 V cordless
drill uses? Or would you pay less by buying a drill body off of
eBay/wherever and using the motor from that?

What about a model store ? Radio control model cars use mighty powerful DC
motors with long shafts. You can probably find something of a suitable size
/ power / voltage at reasonable cost. Also, many small powerful motors used
in cars - for instance, electric windows, electric sunroof, central locking,
electrically steered door mirrors, heater control valve / vent flap drive,
electric seats. Visit to an auto junkyard, where these items might already
have been removed for sale, perhaps ?

If the drill is a cheap name brand like but not limited to Coleman,
Great Neck etc.. that you can pick up with a drop charger and an extra
battery and case for $29.99 US the best thing to do is to buy another
drill. I own an 18v Coleman that is fine for around the house. Two
batteries, drop charger, case. Sufficient torque for small household
drilling and driver duties. Batteries last a lonmg time and charge
fast. However it's not something I would use for carperntry work. I
upgraded recently to a Hitachi 14.4 3/8" that uses Lithium-ion
batteries. It has twice the torque, comes with two batteries, a case,
belt hook and drop charger. I paid $150.00 US for it but it is worth
every penny.
