Drill Mounted Air Pump

I got an air compressor at goodwill. It was a cordless tire inflater. I took it apart because the battery would not charge. I sold the motor and sealed lead acid battery for scrap. Then I removed part of the motor mount and a gear, so I could attach it directly to my drill. My drill already has internal gears. It has a maximum of 150 psi but I have not been brave enough to test the maximum. I have used it up to about 40 psi at the most. I could still use it to inflate tires. The drill makes it a variable speed pump so you can slow down when the tire is about full. I have also used it to refill canned air and for the cloud in a bottle experiment.
