I like the idea of the unit... The Robow Tow is very similar and offers a Battery, Charger and the Motor included. This unit seems to be a little pricy, but I may have to get one as the RoboTow will not work on my Sierra (C24R Beech) due to the RoboTow design!
Appreciate the innovation here a bunch but question the price point. At that price I think it should include the motor (fully integrated - not a drill).
The drill is the point because you can swap them out easily for less than the cost of an integrated motor. There are plenty of other heavy duty options so reasons don't exist to add another, and drills continually improve. If you want something different the industry has plenty of them so buy one of those instead.
Pretty smart innovation. That drill's going to get wrecked pretty quickly but that's where the warranty comes in, I guess. Maybe they could make a heavy duty version which uses higher voltage lawn mower batteries.
That's a neat product for people who are not strong enough to maneuver a plane manually. Hope the inventor makes millions!

Wonder if you could use a corded drill? For short distance the extension cord wouldn’t be a problem. And then unlimited power. What do you think?
Tim Foster Yes, that would work well.
Yes... But be Very Very careful that the cord does not get tangled somewhere... Could create a bad day for someone.
Will it work on a Cessna 206 with wheel pants?
Yes - any Cessna with the standards lugs above the wheel pant.
Needs an electric motor option with battery
What would it take for adapter to VAN's RV-10?

Use with modern drills won't be an issue because of the gear reduction.
Price?
$1695
That thing is higher than a giraffes butt !
Wow! You said affordable. $1700 is waaaaay to much!
I guess Piper gets no love?
I bought an old snowblower that I'm converting to a tug. all in....under 1000 dollars
