I carry my little Dremmel kit, with a set of drill bits for it, in the
Tunemobile all the time. Also a fluorescent shop light with a built-in
outlet, so it's an extension cord. Both items are handy dandy, sometimes.

Never tried the push thingy for drilling,  just as a "power" screwdriver.

  "Last week I bought myself a Yankee push drill for my shop.  I went to a
customers house and found a broken pedal rod (the one with the plastic ends)
. I still had the drill in my car so I got it and drilled  the end of the
rod..."

  But beware using a push drill on the end of a wooden dowel for a field
repair, unless you have access to a vise.  If the wood splits or the bit
otherwise jumps off the mark, it doesn't feel very good.  Don't ask me how I
know!

  With a cordless drill, you don't need to use the same amount of pressure
to acheive the desired result.
