Great idea for the coolaroo shades. I have 5 on my patio and have been trying to come up with a way to motorize them. Your idea is an easy first step. Thank's for posting.
Great video and gave me the info I needed but waaay too slow and detailed. Show us the little clips, show us the drill and keep going. Just a suggestion for next time.
Hi there. Great video. I was going to try to use a cheap cordless screwdriver. In your links, you mentioned considering that But weren’t sure if it had enough torque . Any thoughts on that? Also, is there a specific shank piece and size for the screwdriver that I could look for? And how big a deal was it to pry off that piece at the bottom of the crank? Thank you!
It required a fair amount of torque. A cordless drill would likely work but I owned both (and needed my drill more regularly), so I allotted the impact for the job.
