Rocky:
Your wife got you EXACLTY what you want! Go and buy an adapter that fits
into the chuck that accepts the 3/8" sockets that you want to use. What
everyone uses are cordless drills, that is what she got you. She happened
to get a very nice one at that.

--> drivers people use
--> for spinning lugnuts off and on at events. Several brands
--> and models were
--> mentioned.
-->
--> Gee, I'd like to have one of those, thought I, and I showed
--> my bride the
--> e-mails. She went to Sears. Under the tree was a Craftsman 18.0-volt
--> cordless 3/8-inch Drill/Driver model 9/11305.
-->
--> Uh, it's a drill/SCREWdriver, not a nut driver. It has a
--> chuck for taking
--> drill bits, and a couple of screwdriver attachments. Doesn't have a
--> 3/8-drive boss (nor accessory) to accept a socket. Yes, she
--> specifically
--> told the salesman I wanted it for doing lugnuts. Salesman
--> said this was the
--> tool. Wrong!
-->
--> Took it back to Sears. "Gee, I don't think they make that," says the
--> salesman. "Can't find it in the catalog," says a different
--> salesman, and the
--> catalog was not only Craftsman, but also Makita, Porter
--> Cable, and several
--> other brands.
-->
--> Soooo ... those of you that have such a tool -- what is it?!?!?
-->
--> Brand? Model Number? Voltage? Spare Battery?
-->
--> I want to trade this for the right tool, but obviously I
--> need to tell the
--> salesman what the right tool is because he is as clueless
--> as I am right now.
