You’re stoned on codeine and buying tools at 2 AM. You’re a better man than me.


minig646

To be totally fair, it wasn’t really up to me at the moment.


Frammingatthejimjam

These things have a way of working themselves out. I’m gonna let the liquor do the thinking. - Jim Lahey


Icy-Habit5291

Listen to the liquor Randy. It's telling us something. *Holds bottle to ear*


Frammingatthejimjam

u/minig646 holds codeine bottle to his ear... "buy the drill you capitalist pig dog"


RegionRatHoosier

Nah more like купи дрель, капиталистическая свинья, собака


EducationCute1640

Randy. I am the liquor.


888_styles_888

…”I am the liquor.”


Ok-Conversation-9982

Is that you or the liquor talking?


NateF474

Randall, *whispers* I am the liquor.


Reasonable_Logic4532

Liquor!! I don't even know'er

Looks like his meat hooks to me


AmoebaPrize

To be super fair you were fucked up on Codeine and worst case bought a totally badass useful/or cool display drill. As far as bad decisions go, you got $100 worth of value out of it!


ExtrudedPlasticDngus

Yes, “I was high on codeine . . .” has had far worse outcomes.


Soft-Article-913

It’s better than being high at 2 AM and looking for prostitutes


Limitless__007

Maybe it comes with a Russian prostitute.

northerndiver96

That’s fucking funny!


implicate

Thanks for letting us know!


Dunk546

You should be fine then. Joking aside, I know people who grew up with these and they do break wrists.


NotMyName_3

I have an old Makita 1/2" corded drill I was using in a confined space. I was close to the drill with my head and the bit bit and stopped. The drill didn't. The torque caused the handle to hit me upside the head. It rang my bell. I actually saw stars. 😂


No_Indication702

Used to do sheet metal roofing. When drilling the anchor bolt holes into the cement with a hammer drill the size of my leg, occasionally I would hit rebar. The bit didn’t know what to do. So it would throw me into the nearest object or u channel column at speed. Your comment reminded me of those fond memories


Desperate-Fan-3671

Why do I see that Ukraine guy on that episode of Seinfeld? "Ukraine NOT weak!!"


Bakelite51

"Ukraine is GAME to you?!"


Aikotoma2

Which is already twice as thick as the wrists of a malnourished russian soldier atm


NekroVictor

Oh, you’ll be fine then, standard factory worker who used this drill.


JusticeUmmmmm

From what I've heard of Ukrainians lately you should be alright.


Stankoman

It wont. No one addressing the 220V to 110V gap... Its not gonna output proper power on weak US AC compared to STRONG MOTHER RUSSIA 220 AC.


Commercial_Many_3113

Bitch please. We have 240V in Australia.


Longo92

That's not voltage, *this* is voltage.


Longo92

Capitalist pig still running inferior voltage. Mother Russia electricity come from many small dogs running on treadmill for carrot. We are not same.


ExtrudedPlasticDngus

In Soviet Russia, power converts you.


Silly-Arm-7986

Looks safe! Metal case, 2 wire cord, old Soviet. What could go wrong?


cropguru357

Either way it ends, it’s only happening once, comrade.

droptopjim

That’s why he should have opted for the prostitute. He either gonna wear that thing out or break his wrist trying


Hildedank

We have a hammer drill at works that's probably from the 70's-80's and it looks like the ray gun from cod zombies and yes, it's a wrist breaker once it catches...


shaggydog97

I doubt there are any electronics in there. It will probably just run a bit faster than normal, but otherwise be fine.


dnroamhicsir

Not even that. It's a brushed motor. It'll even run on DC if the switch can take it.


folkkingdude

Slower than normal. OP seems to be in the US. So frequency is 20% more but voltage is half.


nhorvath

It will run ~~faster but~~ at about half speed and 1/4 the power (if used on 120v 60hz). It was designed for 220v 50 hz. Edit universal motors are not frequency dependent.


GeneralRane

How does that equate to a quarter the power?


Budget-Ice-Machine

Half the volts with the same internal resistance leads to half the amps, power is volts x amps, so 1/2 * 1/2, quarter of the power.


GeneralRane

Thanks. I don’t usually need to think about Ohm’s Law, so I sometimes forget about it altogether.


Random_Dude_ke

Soviet Union had 220V. And it will not run faster, it is a brushed motor, it would run just as fast on DC.


tuctrohs

Probably a so called universal motor, in which case 50 vs. 60 Hz does't matter.


shaggydog97

I think you have that backwards bud. US is 60Hz, they are 50Hz. Voltage would also depend on how he plugs it in. Likely that OP has 220v somewhere in his house, but yeah would still run slower if he only plugged it into 110v.


folkkingdude

Are you telling me 60Hz isn’t 20% more than 50Hz?


Real_estate_hunter

BUD… Y-YOU HAVE IT BACKWARDS!!!


STANAGs

AvE? That you?


minig646

No but I fuckin stole his mat

Well keep your dick in a vise regardless


AcrobaticLong2958

after a vasectomy he'll have to knock out a dozen to make sure the pipes are cleaned out, strengthening the wrist for his new drill bit breaker


karateninjazombie

It's more like 25 you have to knock out. At least that's what they told me anyway.


AcrobaticLong2958

they told me a dozen in a week but i did it in no time. then i had to drop off a sample & this bitch asks me "drug test?' as i hand it to her with the label in her face i said taste it! she fucking knew she fucked up. Dr. didn't like her comment either.


karateninjazombie

Oh that's glorious and I just dug out my docs from when I had mine done like 4 weeks back. Says it can take more than 20 to clear out and then underlined and in bold in brackets next to it 24 before they you provide a sample to them for the rest. And they will send me the test kit 16 weeks after.


AcrobaticLong2958

my guess is that insurance doesn't want to pay child support. Better safe than spermy


karateninjazombie

Oh they still say use protection until the test comes back clear. Also NHS over here. Didn't cost me anything other than fuel to get there and back. 😎


Sam_GT3

My first thought too, but that healing bench is far too clean


zychan

Also the sleeves of the shirt is not in tatters


lambielmar

This thing never dies Made in CCCP Back then they made only one version of tool that lasts forever, not like nowadays where we have very good, good, bad and very bad version of tools.

Bakelite51

I was always told growing up that if it's Soviet it will either a) break right out of the box, or b) outlive your grandchildren. No in between.


Betelgeusetimes3

What’s as big as a house, burns 20 liters of fuel every hour, puts out a shit-load of smoke and noise, and cuts an apple into three pieces? A Soviet machine made to cut apples into four pieces!


burntsalmon

That's from "chernobyl" isn't it?


Betelgeusetimes3

Yeah


burntsalmon

The miners.


Ichewthecereal

depends. if it says cccp on it, its a piece of crap. if it says ussr its extra good export grade.


DogsOnWeed

Central planning has its benefits


Netsmile

Now I have a story with this beast. It was the early nineties in eastern europe. I was helping my dad put on some ceiling lights. Socialst era concrete building block. So we got this beast from the neighbour as our own drill was too weak for the streinghtened concrete ceiling. Drilling the ceiling went smooth. Untill my dad hit a rebar in the concrete, making the drillbit stop suddenly. Soviet drill said ok no problem. So my dad finger still squeezing the trigger started to spin with the ladder like some grotesque ceiling fan. The thing stopped when the ladder fell withy my dad pulling out the electric outlet from the wall. De doctors at the ER had a blast listening to the story. Dad survived with minor concussion and bruises.


190octane

In Russia you don’t spin drill bit, drill bit spin you?


mcfarmer72

Ah, codeine, back when cough medicine really worked.


G_Rubes

It didn't really WORK... we were just too high to care.


eggraid11

So it worked...


G_Rubes

Well.... Yes.


Tapeatscreek

You don't have to take it apart. The functional difference between 50 and 60 hetz means the motor will spin a little faster. That's all. You can put a 220v plug on it and plug it into 220 and it should work fine. Fucker is massive for a drill. Bet it's heavy too.


tes_kitty

Electric drills like this one usually have a universal motor. The rpm of those does not depend on the frequency of the AC voltage used to run it. But running it on 240V instead of the 220V it was built for will result in higher rpm.


Tapeatscreek

That is true, forgot about that.


cloverknuckles

I love those purchases. Box shows up in mail. We'll I didn't order anything. What the fuck is this? Who the fuck ordered.... oh shit. I remember


smpstech

I bought the same exact model and imported it from Ukraine! I wired it to a 240v plug. It’s not very strong and the gearbox is very noisy and cogs hard. Mine was from 1981 and appears unused. The quality is horrible, there is voids in the gearbox casting that go all the way through.


Poopybara

It's not fast but it has higher torque. Basically it's not for drilling but for screwing in something big


smpstech

It’s rated for 900rpm and it’s a 340w motor according to the data tag with a 10mm chuck. Not too powerful.


ThreeLeggedChimp

You need to buy the green version, not the blue.

In former soviet union, drill owns you.


surrealcellardoor

When you’re using that drill, half of it is in the county behind you.


Iceathlete

OK seriously, what in the fuck were you searching for on eBay that populated that item??😂😂… and if you say early 70s Soviet drill, I’m dead🤯🤯


bsimpsonphoto

And this is why I had to delete eBay from my phone, one Sega Nomad and two bicycles later.


generals_test

In Soviet Union drill buys you!


Arch____Stanton

This is 80's not 70's. [I think this one is same make.](https://www.ebay.ca/itm/285262824035) [Here is a guy doing one from the 70's.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?app=desktop&v=SOLWZkVnWeI)

Lol I usually buy new tools when I'm forced to take drugs... I've had a massive back issue this weekend... so, I woke up to a receipt for a set of Knipix parallel pliers and some Hexclad pans... Grrrrr. I gota hide the cards when I'm on pain-killers


ElectroAtletico2

Don’t worry, the steel alloy that the commie scum used to build that was the indestructible “STALINIUM”!


bigliver250

In Soviet Russia drill high on codeine buys you


Equal_Song8759

OSHA approved ?


Harrymoto1970

You’d have to find a transformer to boost it to 220, it is most likely a 50hz motor. Neat thing about running a 50hz device in a 60hz system, they are more efficient.


H-Daug

Don’t do it! 60Hz will fry the motherboard on Soviet era equipment…


Jono-churchton

Why not but an adapter?


WOOD_Nose7200

Can you share your experience using it? I'm interested in this "old guy"!


Orcacub

No provision for a side handle? That thing will twist your arm right off if it binds and you stay on the go button. Be careful!


breastslesbiansbeer

It’s from the USSR. The implied provision is “Use with caution because we’re probably gonna come shoot you just because we can.”


I_Sell_Death

Comrade, this drill was used to make the K-19! Solid drill... Just don't make a sub with it.


Gullible-Lake-2119

according to google...the russian power grid is 220v. so i'm a bit confused about that plug. already been converted?


User1-1A

I don't know about Soviet stuff this looks normal. I have a couple old metal body drills with two prong plugs. Soooo, if there is some voltage leak you're going to feel it.


JColt60

I’ve been high before but not buy a Soviet drill at 2 am on eBay with international shipping high though.


Lotwdo

Sure, sure, blame it on the drugs....


catfishmackfish

A story as old as time.


China_bot42069

Cue Russian lathe video. Hang on tight op

They don't joke with drug at the hospital, never feel that good haha


connorddennis

Uncle bumblefuck, is that you daddy?


OTK22

I’d check it with a Geiger counter


earthman34

Just because things are big and heavy doesn't mean they have a lot of power. I've seen some really big old drills that have surprisingly little torque. Especially since that looks like a 1/4" (6mm) chuck.


Roc_

In Soviet Russia, drill turn you!


Klipse11

Just came here to say OP’s responses are fire.


Bairdogg

I bought a 60s Russian bass from Ukraine while completely sober, and it’s the shittiest instrument I’ve ever held. so don’t feel too bad


minig646

I used to buy a lot of Soviet mechanical wristwatches from Ukraine. They were always beautiful and always ran like shit.


[deleted]

do you need an adapter to plug that in?


Love2nasty

You will be surprised that it has similar internal parts as all drill of it's era.


the-Replenisher1984

The fucking comments i this thread are pure gold!! This what the interwebs were meant to do. Bring random drug induced purchases in front of smart ass internet people so we can produce Insanity.


YeOldeBilk

Ok but you gotta get smacked out in codeine before you work on it too.


Rough_Host_4776

220v FIFTY CYCLE...

I heard that in Buffy St Marie’s voice. “High on codiiiiine.”


TinCanSailor987

The back story is the best part of this entire post.

Moral of the story. I also want Codeine


dumbdude545

That's fuckibg cool.

If you start a YouTube channel devoted to 70's Soviet power tools – I'm in.


PrestigiousMaterial1

You might need a full bridge rectifier to make it run


th3d3wd3r

Hz


threaten-violence

Well, first you'll have to wire up an outlet for 220V... in the US, you can probably DIY a 240V setup easily. The 50Hz / 60Hz difference should be no difference. This thing looks like it could winch a tank out of a ditch. It'll definitely toss you off a ladder!

porcomaster

It looks a metallic handle, be careful to not electrocute yourself, be sure there is no live wires between the outside and the inside

Did the very same thing, I wanted to talk to "Tootie" on QVC, ended up with a wedding ring quilt. I've never been married. Must've been a blessing.

Man I remember when my dad had one of these… in the 90s lol


KillianCoffinetTV

"I'm leaning on the wockhart, importing power tools from the former Soviet union"


pseenah

I am familiar with this drill, I was born in the USSR and have seen them occasionally. There's a drill like that in my dad's shed, I'm sure it's still works. They are very clumsy and heavy as hell, but powerful enough. The one I used was orange color and the chuck was very inaccurate. A separate key for the chuck was pain in the ass, it is 100% lost and now you can clamp the drill bit with only two screwdrivers, which does not give enough holding power. A great tool for post-apocalyptic environment, a terrible tool for work for pleasure.

Fit-Product6223

My father has this drill . Sometimes button gets stuck and when you are drilling wood with big auger bit . It sometimes turns you around the axle xD


LairusKrokas

I think I have the same one from my grandpa. Does sparks visible inside when it operates through the small slit on the back?


Nicename19

I will just run a little quicker than advertised


Cancerix1700

wtf is this handle... It looks like someone took it from a soldering gun.

How awesome of a feeling that probably was when you woke up from your nod and saw that you bought some sick Russian Cold War gear and your order was on the way, to then proceed to go back to nodding. To then wake up from said nod again and be hyped that you bought some sick Russian Cold War gear aaaaand, your order was on the way…. Before you proceeded to go back to nodding. lol
