Lightweight is good and what did I use it for it’s a lawnmower kzitem.infoUgkxTPN04aT-Qdjr_KS3ql7ng8wnU3wwsCqk also recommend Yes it is lightweight so hence not as robust as our old one. But if you take care it does the job really well.

Very handy idea. Many years ago, before recoil starters were common on mowers, all mowers came with a cord that you wrapped around the coupler where a recoil would normally be attached. Once wrapped, you merely pulled it to spin the engine. It was a pain. But, back then it was the only way. Cordless drills weren't around yet. When I was a kid, I would mow lawns for extra cash. The going rate was $2.00 -$3.00 per yard. Nowadays, it's at least $50 and UP! LOL

But once it starts, it’ll run as long as you don’t stop it or it gets choked up with grass build up. Then I’ve got wait about an hour before it’ll restart. But your solution is a great idea for when my cord breaks. 4-25-2021

I use small bungee cords as bail-bar tiebacks. One end has a 3/4 in. black ball, the other has a loop that you pull over the ball. I tied a knot or two in the middle to shorten the length so I only have to wrap one time around, then fasten. One cord for the blade-brake/engine-kill bar, and the other for the front-wheel self-propel bar. I always remove the "propel" cord off first. Works like a champ! I'm getting the parts together now to duplicate your "electric start" tool.

Let me add one thing. When using the drill and the engine starts, DO NOT STOP THE DRILL and then remove it. NO! If you do that, there is a chance that hand can dislocate or brake. AND if the engine starts and you let the drill stay on because you didn't have time to remove it, then the drill can circle around so fast and can be thrown as a bullet into anywhere. When drilling and engine is about to start slowly pull up and keep the button pressed. Thats the only way and safe way.

@@Kingsoupturbo It likely would. A newer battery would likely do better too. My drill is around 6-7 years old now, so I'm sure the battery lost a bit of its power. A good corded drill would work much better for sure. Good point about kickback, that could be quite dangerous to the drill and yourself. A one way clutch would be ideal for this setup so the engine isn't directly tied to the drill and can spin up freely without affecting the drill. Even just setting the drill's clutch to the loosest setting that doesn't slip while cranking would provide quite a bit of protection compared to the clutch being totally locked if the engine did kick back.

I have a newish Toro mower that starts so easily on the pull start, all those newer motors have compression release for starting, it even had an electric start option, what a world!

It worked for a stubborn lawn mower. Used a octogon old 1/2" drive 15/16 socket. My 3/8" drill would not work and I didn't have 1/2-3/8 adapter. So I found a 1/2" electric lamp bolt and placed the head in socket and tighten down the nut. U had to over tighten the bolt with a vise grips and 1/2" wrench. Iprimed the bulb about 4 times. It took about 10 seconds of running at full speed and it cranked. I let run for 3 minutes. This #$%$ lawnmower would not start before this trick. Thanks LC

the older 3.5 classic, sprint, and quattro engines they used a starter clutch that stuck in the recoil assembly as you have to get a socket that fits onto the starter clutch to start the engine. as some 3.5 hp engines from the early 1970s - the mid 1980s they used a vertical pull starter. if it breaks take the flywheel screen off and use the socket and nut to start it with your drill.
